Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf Chapter 1901 - 1061: Stirring Hearts, Disrupting Public Opinion!
Previously on Devouring Evolution: I Reborn as an Arctic Wolf...
Thanks to Su Lin's hidden incitement, soul stones swiftly grew scarce before long.
It's worth noting that soul stones originate from pure soul spirits, rendering them scarcer than blood stones and star stones.
Even rarer than luck stones.
After all, luck stones can be gathered in huge quantities simply by overcoming rival groups that hoard fortune.
Therefore, in only a few months, soul stones around the edges of the two Star Nebula Great Clans turned depleted,
and certain rentier groups quickly capitalized, hiking prices since scarcity boosts worth!
It wasn't long until the wave of climbing soul stone costs flooded every part of the two Star Nebula Great Clans, with nearby areas seeing sharp rises too.
The trading ratio, beginning at one soul stone for ten blood stones, luck stones, or star stones, surged dramatically to one for twenty.
Yet this escalation hasn't peaked yet.
Still, this chaos hasn't drawn the formal notice of the two Star Nebula Great Clans, much less genuine alarm.
They're still caught up in alliance decisions, even confusing Su Lin's spies posing as backers with authentic supporters!
At present, they're calculating the assets and bets to stake!
"Hehe, such bold spirit from these Star Nebula Great Clans, but their foresight is too narrow, chasing minor gains!"
Su Lin glanced over the updates from his Ghost Firefly agents masquerading as supporters and shook his head with disdain.
No Star Nebula Great Clan is straightforward; each possesses distinct advantages.
Yet every Star Nebula Great Clan is bound to carry flaws.
For Star Nebula Great Clans mired in endless fights, ignoring such details is typical, as they're habituated to total gambles over slight disputes!
However, in this avarice frenzy, their urge to wager all finds no foe.
In the meantime, Su Lin instructed the Dream Guards beneath the Twelve-winged Dream Butterfly to funnel every asset from his Origin Space into this greed whirlwind.
He even pawned off half the River of Spirituality Essence to 'Unspeakable' for trillions in supplies.
While Su Lin committed all these assets, aiming to unsettle the markets of the two Star Nebula Great Clans, outright disruption proved unattainable.
But offering mere leverage did the trick!
Since every faction teems with sharp minds; these are the rentier classes, the already affluent elite.
Their entry truly destabilized the two Star Nebula Great Clans!
As a result, countless species dependent on soul stones for nurturing soul forms or restoring divine sense and soul spirits became prime marks for exploitation.
Furthermore, virtually all factions, spotting a good's value explode, grow unwilling to release it.
This drove soul stone values higher still, hitting ten times the starting point in just a few years!
Numerous exotic beasts and races gazed upon this with jealousy.
For all understood the staggering earnings from such a tenfold markup!
With profits like that, plenty of exotic beasts cast aside official laws and limits!
Even minor factions and beast masters daringly snapped up soul stones in bulk from adversarial Star Nebula Great Clans!
But precisely as these small groups and experts clinched their stock of soul stones, short of savoring the rewards,
abruptly, an enormous wave of soul stones flooded the markets!
Amid this hasty unloading of massive soul stone batches, the Undead Holy Sect's Erosion Spirit King openly stated that the undead's thirty legions held enough soul stones for ten thousand years, with no plans to buy more soon!
This declaration left many astute hoarders of soul stones totally shocked.
Right away, every faction and rentier set rushed to dump their holdings.
This sent soul stone costs crashing in only one or two months, from ten times original to just five times!
At fivefold, some frantic rentier groups tried uniting to defy the market, but it quickly crushed them with a brutal reminder.
For two hidden forces were stoking the blaze inside.
One was Su Lin!
Su Lin, by scooping up trillions of bargain soul stones, played the buy-low sell-high game, raking in over two trillion billions!
This marked pure mega-gains.
The Erosion Spirit King proved no fool, either, netting billions from the chaos!
Their huge discharges and sparked market fear doomed every attempt to manipulate to total ruin.
Truly, this soul stone value frenzy let some factions and exotic beasts snag resources, but far more endured savage reaping.
And the destination of the reaped assets? Plain to see!
Yet this soul stone affair was merely the opener.
From this soul stone value frenzy, many exotic beasts and factions had already savored the wild earnings from price swings.
So silently,
a fresh commodity started its price climb.
None other than the Heavenly Realm Blood Pill!
Heavenly Realm Blood Pills outshine blood stones by far; they're distilled pure blood essence.
They equal heavenly-grade exotic plant fruits.
Rentier classes have traditionally employed Heavenly Realm Blood Pills as elite aids for training their progeny.
And following this frenzy, they sharpened their sense for price shifts in wares.
Consequently, Heavenly Realm Blood Pill costs rocketed fiercer still, leaping beyond twenty times!
A price from the heavens!
The stakes tied to some twenty Heavenly Realm Blood Pills soared to mad heights.
Plenty of titans beyond Heavenly Venerate tier eagerly sacrificed their vital blood to craft Heavenly Realm Blood Pills, leaving many suddenly rich.
