Chapter 1441 - Pushing It
Gradually, everyone began to grasp what was really happening, and their gazes toward Liu Wuxie shifted from curiosity to admiration.
"This Liu Wuxie isn't simple. He actually saw through Huang Li's plan to act as a middleman, and this was why he kept refusing his offer," said an elder from the Nine Dragon Palace as he stroked his beard in praise.
"A middleman? What's that supposed to mean?" The ordinary cultivators at the Void Realm remained utterly confused and still thought Liu Wuxie was putting on airs and pretending to be aloof.
Upon hearing the explanation of the others nearby, they finally understood the broader situation.
Compared to Liu Wuxie's foresight, they realized just how embarrassingly shallow their own thinking was. Most cultivators from the Spirit Martial Astral Domain had not come to buy for their personal use, but to stock up and resell back home for profit.
Very few were here purely to seek the treasures they needed.
Liu Wuxie had guessed Huang Li's intention the moment the latter tried to purchase three hundred pills in one go. That was why he kept raising the price—to cut off any chance of Huang Li reselling the Soul Pills in the Spirit Martial Astral Domain.
From this moment onward, if cultivators from the Spirit Martial Astral Domain wanted Soul Pills, their only option would be to trade with the Heavenly Dao Society directly.
From Liu Wuxie's behavior alone, it was clear that he intended to extend the Heavenly Dao Society's reach into the Spirit Martial Astral Domain, and that ambition alone was terrifying.
As everyone dug deeper into the implications of that transaction, a faint trace of fear entered their eyes whenever they looked at Liu Wuxie.
Only now did Xu Lingxue and the others truly realize how formidable he was to think so far ahead.
This was what people meant when they spoke of casting a long line to catch a big fish; the Heavenly Dao Society's true aim had never been immediate profits.
