Chapter 919
Year 9685 of the Blue Star Xia calendar, Yuanzai Star
In a village on the Western Continent, as soon as the grain store opened, a long line of people queuing to buy grain could be seen. The store clerk seemed to be used to it, unfazed, and put up the sign for today’s grain prices.
When everyone saw the numbers on the price sign, they stirred with excitement; the prices had dropped again, lower than before.
A month ago, the price of grain in the town suddenly fell by seven or eight times, shocking everyone, causing a rush, as they thought the lord had gone mad, but they didn’t expect the prices could drop even more.
"Listen up, everyone, the immortals from the Chu Sword Immortal Gate, eight hundred miles away, have felt everyone’s struggles and specially brought in low-priced grain from thousands of miles away. This is the lord of the immortal gate’s kindness…"
The grain store began to sell grain, and nearby, some people shouted loudly. Among the people in line, some also called out to thank the lord of the Immortal Gate.
It was not just the grain store; stores selling things like salt, cloth, sugar, and farming tools had seen their prices drop lower and lower each day over the past few months, reaching rock bottom compared to before.
Not only were the prices low, but there was also unlimited supply. Just like with the grain, you could buy as much as you wanted, allowing the poor people, who used to eat only scraps, to afford rice now.
Meanwhile, eight hundred miles away at the Chu Sword Sect, two Soul Changing cultivators were coldly watching as the high-ranking members of the Chu Sword Sect executed a group of disciples. The Chu Sword Sect was a small sect in the area, and facing the pressure from the Soul Changing Ancestor, they did not dare to resist at all. Moreover, they had been presented with evidence of their disciples harming countless people in the local area, so they could only obey the Ancestor’s orders.
