Purple Haze Grass's price increases

Alan quickly left the area before the city guards arrived. The city guards picked up Shen Xiu and took her to the Sacred Family's mansion.

The entire Sacred Family was shocked to hear about this attack on Shen Xiu. Shen Fei also mentioned that someone with a similar description had been hunting his underlings as well.

Thus, the Sacred Family had set up a bounty for this masked cultivator, giving a brief info about his appearance and a great reward.

However, they had no idea that the perpetrator was someone among themselves. And since Alan's age was still quite young, he couldn't be the Silver Rank Fighter who injured Shen Xiu, so he never drew any suspicion.

But this incident didn't just shake the Sacred Family, it shook the entire Glory City, including the reincarnated Nie Li.

Nie Li frowned as he felt that this incident had never occurred during his previous life. He planned to investigate this incident and find out more about this masked cultivator. But he guessed that this masked cultivator was most likely a member of the Dark Guild.

He believed that these changes were all due to the butterfly effect. And a sense of urgency appeared in his heart. If everything was changing so rapidly, there was a chance that the Sage Emperor would wake up quickly.

Nie Li knew he had to gather strength quickly. And for that, he required a great fortune. The wealthiest association within the Glory City was the Alchemy Association.

If Nie Li wanted to amass a large fortune, it was only possible through the Alchemy Association. Thus, he got to work rather quickly.

Even though he had only gathered a short amount of Purple Haze Grass, he felt it was better than nothing. He sent a detailed letter to the Alchemy Association, stating more than 60 uses. Almost half of these uses were extremely valuable.

However, it would take some time for the Alchemy Association to read his letter. But Nie Li was confident that when word of this spread, the value of the Purple Haze Grass in his hands would be go up by more than 50 times.

If Nie Li could buy more, he could boost the price by nearly 100 times. But he was satisfied with this for now. Once Nie Li had that money, he would have other means to quickly increase his fortune!

The next day, the elder from the Snow Wind Family, Ye He, took over Shen Xiu's class. He was a straightforward and honest individual who taught the students rather kindly.

All the students, including the noble and commoner students, were very happy to listen to his lecture.

Alan was satisfied with this man as he noticed that Nie Li no longer seemed intent on provoking the teacher. Perhaps it had something to do with the fact that Ye He belonged to the Snow Wind Family.

Nie Li hadn't even properly interacted with Ye Ziyun. If he publicly humiliated her family, she would form a negative opinion of him.

Moreover, Alan's interaction with Ye Ziyun increased as they talked quite a bit while eating the breakfast prepared by Xiao Ning'er.

Alan also noticed that Xiao Ning'er was rather competitive with Ye Ziyun. She liked to prove that she was better than Ye Ziyun. And he understood the reason soon enough.

The two were childhood friends but were separated because of their statuses. The Sacred Family swooped in and weakened the Winged Dragon Family significantly.

She enjoyed the attention as she proved how she was better than Ye Ziyun. At this point, Alan found her rather easy to manipulate.

Increasing his focus on her would be detrimental, as it would prevent Alan from gaining Celestial Points from other attractive women. Through Shen Yue's memories, he knew that Huyan Lanruo was in her late teens and have a high charm rating.

She was his next target. He found out that she was going to join Chen Linjian's group to explore the Ancient Orchid City Ruins.

He didn't mention anything to Xiao Ning'er about this expedition to the Ancient Orchid City Ruins because if Xiao Ning'er accompanied him, it would greatly affect his objective.

After this day, Nie Li and his group headed to the library and booked a small room. There were 5 of them. And other than Nie Li and Lu Piao, all were commoners.

Currently, Nie Li was testing their Soul Attribute and Soul Form before assigning them appropriate cultivation techniques.

From this day onwards, the cultivation of Nie Li's group rapidly increased. Alan noticed this through Zila's help.

Zila showed a brief status of each member of Nie Li's group. The one who experienced the most drastic change were Du Ze and Lu Piao. But Nie Li wasn't too far behind.

Naturally, Alan didn't slack off during this period. He trained his Soul Force greatly and learned more techniques.

Fortunately, Xiao Ning'er thought about him quite a bit and he amassed enough points through her. But he noticed that Nie Li didn't give him any more Celestial Points.

Nie Li seemed to have grown used to Ye Ziyun talking to Alan.

A few days later, the Alchemy Association suddenly began to buy Purple Haze Grass in large quantities. This created a shortage of Purple Haze Grass in the market and quickly increased its price by several folds.

However, this wasn't all. The uses of the Purple Haze Grass were soon leaked by the Alchemy Association and nearly all powerful families started to use their fortune to buy this Purple Haze Grass.

This further boosted the price of the Purple Haze Grass and within just a short span, it's market price boosted by more than 300 times.

'This must be related to Nie Li. That's why he was buying the Purple Haze Grass in large quantities. Either he knew that this kind of change would occur at this interval through his previous life's memories, or he was the one who informed the Alchemy Association of this herb's uses.'

'I should sell it while its price is at an all-time high.'

Meanwhile, Nie Li was shocked as he heard that the price of the Purple Haze Grass had been increased to 300 times of its original price. He frowned as he felt that there was no way it could have gone out of stock so soon.

But he didn't care much as he heard significantly. He could finally buy some armor and weapons for all his comrades.
