You are already cultivating immortality, who would fight with you alone?
Chapter 279 Ponzi Scheme (2)
"really!"
Lin Ying widened his eyes and shouted these two words in disbelief.
At this moment, there was a gleam of anxiety in his eyes and his lips trembled slightly, like a candle swaying in the wind.
"You are the real Blue Star!" His voice was full of astonishment and confusion.
“Ponzi schemes…Salt and sugar…It’s all fake.”
Lin Ying muttered to himself, his body shaking involuntarily.
These sudden truths made him feel dizzy, as if the whole world was collapsing in an instant.
At this moment, Wuji stood aside and shouted loudly: "Lin Ying! Cheer up!"
This cry was like a heavy hammer, hitting Lin Ying's heart hard and suddenly pulling his wandering thoughts back.
Lin Ying turned his head woodenly and glanced at Wuji.
At that moment, his eyes were empty, but soon, a spark of hope flickered in his eyes again.
"No, that's not right!" Lin Ying suddenly muttered.
Then, as if he had thought of something important, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Liu Yuntian.
"How could Salt Sugar be a scam?!" he asked loudly, his voice becoming a little hoarse with excitement.
“You’re also making money from salt and sugar!”
At this moment, Lin Ying's heart was filled with confusion and anger.
He stared at Liu Yuntian intently, trying to find the answer from his eyes and verify the guess in his heart that he was unwilling to believe.
However, Liu Yuntian just smiled and looked at him quietly without saying a word.
There was a hint of amusement in that smile, as if he was enjoying a wonderful performance.
Liu Yuntian acted so calm and confident, which made Lin Ying feel more uneasy and guilty.
Countless past events flashed through his mind like a movie, and every detail was re-examined and thought about.
He stared at Liu Yuntian closely, trying to find flaws in his expression and words.
Lin Ying took a deep breath and continued, "Even if Yantang was really planned and hyped up by you..."
"That also requires a huge amount of capital that can arouse the greed in everyone's hearts!"
Having said this, Lin Ying paused for a moment.
He emphasized, "With your resource-poor northern border, you can't possibly have so much wealth!"
At this moment, Wuji's head seemed to be in a tangled mess, and the more he listened, the more confused he became.
He looked blankly at the two people who were talking in front of him, completely confused and having no idea what they were talking about.
However, when he caught a glimpse of Lin Ying's expression, which was so excited that he could hardly control himself, he couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in his heart.
Wuji quickly turned his head and glanced sharply at Lin Ying.
He asked anxiously and loudly: "What happened?"
Facing Wuji's questioning, Lin Ying couldn't help but feel guilty. He lowered his head subconsciously.
His lips were tightly closed, showing no intention of explaining.
At this moment, Liu Yuntian, who had been standing aside in silence, suddenly smiled.
He took a step forward and walked straight in front of Wuji and Lin Ying.
He cleared his throat and said slowly, "About this salt and sugar..."
Wuji was slightly startled, a puzzled look appeared on his face.
"Do you like to eat?"
Liu Yuntian suddenly changed the subject. He felt a little strange, but still began to think seriously.
When salt candies first came out, I loved them very much.
At that time, sugar could be made into sweeter and more delicious cakes, and could also be soaked into delicious sugar water;
Salt can be added to various foods, making originally bland meals instantly become delicious.
Every time after eating a meal with salt added, Wuji would feel full of energy.
But as time went by, Wuji gradually felt a little bored after eating salt and sugar day after day after the novelty wore off.
The taste that once made him love it is no longer so tempting now, and he feels that this thing is dispensable.
Moreover, monks are completely capable of maintaining life without relying on food.
Whether it is the indispensable salt or the sweet and tempting sugar, their importance gradually decreases after the initial novelty.
"What do you want to say?" Wuji did not directly respond to the question raised by Liu Yuntian, but asked back in a cold voice.
"For ordinary mortals, items like salt and sugar are indeed necessities in life..."
Liu Yuntian paused for a moment, then continued, "However, for beings as transcendent as immortals, can they really be so important?"
He stared at Wuji, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.
"The reason why you think these things are good is simply because you think they can bring you huge profits..."
At this point, Liu Yuntian subconsciously sneered, as if everything was under his control.
"And this so-called profit is actually a false illusion that I carefully created to show you!"
"Once you have tasted the sweetness of it, you will inevitably go crazy and hoard salt and sugar in large quantities,"
"And then, I can take the opportunity to sell all the salt and sugar I have to you at a high price!"
"In this way, all the money goes into my pocket, and you only have the unsold salt and sugar in your hands~"
It was as if a flash of lightning passed through Wuji's mind, and he suddenly realized something.
He subconsciously cast his gaze towards Lin Ying beside him, and the moment their eyes met,
He suddenly noticed that Lin Ying's expression was a little strange.
Then, Wuji's pupils trembled slightly involuntarily.
He said with astonishment, "Could it be that... the previous phenomenon of salt and sugar being in short supply and everyone rushing to buy them... was all fake?"
The more Wuji thought about it, the more frightened he became. His voice unconsciously rose a few notches: "And those monks who are rushing to buy salt and sugar like crazy... Could they all be your people?!"
Having said that, Wuji stared closely at Liu Yuntian in front of him, only to see that the other party remained silent and did not make any rebuttal.
This made Wuji more suspicious, and he couldn't help but ask, "But those who bought salt and sugar really paid a lot of spirit stones!"
"These spirit stones can't be fake, right?!"
Wuji finally asked the most crucial point, and at this time even Lin Ying beside him raised his head again.
In fact, he wanted to ask this question just now, but was interrupted by Wuji.
Now both of them thought of the same thing and had the same question.
Lin Ying immediately questioned Liu Yuntian: "Wuji is right..."
"The profits we made from selling salt and sugar were real money. They were definitely not fake!"
"The reason why Ruyi's Holy Land of Flowers can grow stronger day by day is also due to the profits from salt and sugar! This is an indisputable fact!"
"Besides, you can't possibly have so many spirit stones to set up this situation. You must be lying to me!"
"As long as the war is over, our salt and sugar will be snapped up quickly!"
“Definitely!!!”
