<h4>Chapter 207: Acquisition</h4>


    Why didn’t he have the awareness to buy a shop in advance in the capital of the Yan Shen Empire?


    Why did he only have a short-sighted mind back then, wanting to save up a certain amount of primeval stones before bringing it back to his old home to retire?


    However, these were his thoughts. He knew that his main n, the Mu n, would probably make some big moves next.


    ording to what he had observed, on his way to this shop, he had also encountered no less than tenprador members from other ns.


    Although these people belonged to different ns in the capital of the Yan Shen Empire, he still managed to get in touch with a few of them with his vast knowledge.


    Thus, he finally learned that this operation was probably a collective operation of some forces in the capital of the Yan Shen Empire.


    Therefore, he did not dare to make wild guesses in this matter!


    After all, in his heart, he knew how little power he had!


    If he was slightly careless and made a wrong choice, he would probably die in this collective action of manyrge ns without even making a ssh!


    After a while, hepleted the purchase of this stone shop. When he walked out of the door of this shop, he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.


    After leaving behind an attendant to carry out the follow-up procedures, the purchasing agent hurriedly led the others to his next mission location.


    Today’s collective action,rge numbers of people, andrge amounts of purchases could be seen everywhere in the capital of the Yan Shen Empire.


    Although the amount of money involved in these transactions was veryrge, it was very scattered. Moreover, it was mostly used to purchase individual shops.


    Therefore, in the eyes of the trulyrge ns, they weren’t even worth mentioning. In fact, they didn’t even notice this at the start!


    And at this moment, not only in this stone shop, but also in the capital of the Yan Shen Empire, simr shop transactions and purchases were everywhere.


    “Make way, make way!”


    “Everyone move aside. Our Zhao n are buying this medical shop today, so this medical shop is temporarily closed. All of you can line up a little outside.”


    A group of purchasing agents dressed in grey servant uniforms were shuttling back and forth in Yan Shen Empire’s capital. When they arrived at the entrance of a clinic, they shouted loudly.


    “What are you doing?”


    “The Gu Dao Convention is going on right now, do you know how many people were injured in the Gu Dao Convention?”


    There were many Gu masters who came to seek treatment, criticizing these purchasing agents.


    But they did not care, these people only waved their hands and said to the people behind them.


    “Everyone, I am really sorry, this is my master’s idea, we have to get this clinic!”


    The purchasing agent turned his back to the crowd and said thest sentence. Then, he asked the others to disperse the people who hade to seek medical treatment.


    At this moment, not far from this shop, a group of people suddenly came to the entrance of another shop that was selling cloth.


    ...


    This purchasing storm started at eight o’clock in the morning, and at a quarter past noon, it had already reached a boiling point.


    There were even many rumors that their purchasing actions hadpletely disrupted the normal order of life in Yan Shen Empire’s capital. They had already made it impossible to find the feeding materials needed for many types of Gu worms!


    As this wave of news spread, more and more people immediately took to the streets. They were all people who had been bewitched by this information, wanting to go out at this time and investigate the real situation outside.


    Perhaps there were indeed many Gu masters among them that went out because they did not have enough materials to feed the Gu worms.


    Most of them had the mentality of watching a show, while many others wanted to witness every change in the Yan Shen Empire.


    This kind of people were what they say, someone who had nothing to do all day!


    Originally, in the Yan Shen Empire, such rumors were heard every day. However, not many people would actually listen to the rumors.


    They would not do anything else. However, in just a few hours, this rumor had quickly be the hot topic of discussion for almost everyone in the Yan Shen Empire.


    It was entirely because when some people really went to the streets and these shops to inquire, they discovered that there were really arge number of shops that had encountered a crisis of acquisition today.


    And those so-called rumors did not seem to be false at this moment!


    If a matter was only spread by a few people, then they would not have any power at all.


    If a hundred or a thousand people were to speak together, then there would be people who would verify it on the spot.


    If there were more than ten thousand people spreading the same rumor at the same time, then at least a million people would follow their actions and start to act blindly.


    At this moment, in the Yan Shen Empire’s capital, there was such a battle involving arge number of people and interests of all parties, and also the logistical support of many of the sects that came to participate in the Gu Dao Convention.


    And if the people in front were only worried about the short-term oue, then, most of the permanent residents of the Yan Shen Empire’s capital were worried about theck of necessities in their lives.


    As for the uncertainty of what might happen to some of these materials, in their subconscious panic, people would quickly take out the valuable materials in their homes and the materials that they didn’t need for the time being to exchange for them.


    Then, they would go to shops outside that they knew of as soon as possible to buy the corresponding materials back.


    Originally, there were only a few people who really needed these materials. If they could calm down and rely on the regr supply in the market and reserves, they couldpletely alleviate this crisis temporarily.


    And this was the bad part of this matter!


    It was unknown whether someone had done this for this purpose or something else, but this rumor spread like wings and quickly reached the ears of almost everyone in the capital of the Yan Shen Empire.


    Under such a situation, more and more people went to snatch materials. This immediately caused a huge change in the rtionship between supply and demand in the capital of the Yan Shen Empire.


    Because therge amount of demand and supply that had been temporarily increased and the stocks of supplies could not meet such demand, it caused a short period of intion, and the emergence of intion also made more people who did not need these supplies believe they do.
