In this resource war during the Foundation Establishnt stage, the first to suffer would undoubtedly be the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, which had purchased a massive amount of Yuan-level resources.
To prepare for the upcoming crisis for the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, Xu Ning began replacing the formations of each branch pavilion, upgrading all formations to Yuan-level top-grade. These formations were all upgraded from Spirit-level top-grade to Yuan-level top-grade, so they didn't require tribulation.
This process consud a massive amount of formation materials, another huge sum of resources, leaving Xu Ning completely exhausted.
That day, Xu Ning's junior brother, Xiao Ze, disregarded Xu Ning's seclusion and forcibly ca to visit.
Xu Ning was very uncomfortable about this.
"Senior brother, I'm sorry, I didn't an to disturb your seclusion, but the situation is special right now. I hope you can understand!" Xiao Ze quickly apologized upon entering.
Xu Ning calmly asked, "Junior Brother, please speak freely!"
Xiao Ze replied, "Senior Brother, the sudden acquisition of Yuan-level resources by the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion has led to a supply shortage, escalating conflicts among Foundation Establishnt cultivators!"
"If this continues, conflicts between sects will be inevitable. As you probably know, Senior Brother, our Heavenly Inheritance Sect has little say among the sects in the Red Sea Mountains, and we're likely to lose in the competition! I've co here to ask for your opinion!"
Xiao Ze had first consulted his master, but his master was unsure and had summoned Xu Ning for advice.
In Qi Ruifeng's mind, Xu Ning's abilities were extraordinary. Seeking his advice was the right thing to do.
Xu Ning said, "Junior brother, since you know you can't win, why bother?"
Xiao Ze asked, puzzled, "Senior brother, do you an to close the sect and avoid the fighting?"
Xu Ning nodded. "That's exactly what I'm thinking!"
Xiao Ze exclaid anxiously, "Senior brother, isn't that unacceptable? What will happen to the sect's Foundation Establishnt cultivators' resources?"
Xu Ning nodded. "I already have a plan. You can try contacting the Tianbao Sect and seeking cooperation. The Tianbao Sect has more resources!"
It's worth noting that Xu Ning had left a trading teleportation array between the Tianbao Sect and the Wild Wolf Clan.
The resource scarcity in the human realm wouldn't affect the demon realm. Resources from there would continue to be traded over.
While the price of regenerable spiritual herbs would rise in the short term during this resource war, it wouldn't be too high, allowing them to be used to exchange for resources from the demon realm.
Furthermore, as the resource war progressed, materials unnecessary for the demon race would beco increasingly scarce, as these were the most consud resources in the battle, ultimately leading to a price surge.
At that ti, the Tianbao Sect would definitely make a fortune through its trade with the demon realm, and the Tiancheng Sect could certainly get a share as well.

Xiao Ze, however, worriedly asked, "But Senior Brother, will the Tianbao Sect agree to cooperate with us?"
Xu Ning replied, "You don't need to worry about that. Just go and negotiate! We'll exchange spiritual herbs for other resources. Take all the spiritual herbs stored by the Tiancheng Sect and exchange them!"
Xiao Ze was still sowhat worried. "Will this really work?"
Xu Ning said, "Go quickly!"
Xiao Ze had no choice but to get up and go.
As expected, in the following year, due to the scarcity of resources and soaring prices, conflicts among Foundation Establishnt cultivators intensified.
A year later, sect conflicts began. Pent-up resentnt erupted, and a sect war broke out.
This ti, the Tianji Pavilion could not remain uninvolved.
However, the Tianji Pavilion was not to be trifled with. A large number of Foundation Establishnt cultivators of legendary quality or higher suddenly appeared, striking fear into the hearts of all the sects.
The most famous among them was Lu Shengtong, a Foundation Establishnt cultivator from the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, a peerless Divine-grade Foundation Establishnt cultivator.
His fighting style was also unique. He would lift a thatched hut and smash it indiscriminately, even sending Golden Core cultivators fleeing in disarray.
The Heavenly Inheritance Sect and the Heavenly Treasure Sect, due to their closed-door policy, were not involved.
Xu Ning, the instigator of this great battle, was currently standing barefoot in the courtyard, hands behind his back, looking at the sky.
"I didn't expect that kid Lu Shengtong to give such a surprise!"
Xu Ning had recently upgraded Lu Shengtong's thatched hut to a Yuan-grade top-grade. Of course, it was just a casual upgrade. The accumulated resources couldn't compare to Xu Ning's own hut, but it was enough.
This could be considered a reward for Lu Shengtong's Divine-grade Foundation Establishnt.
Is this what it feels like to be in control behind the scenes? It seed quite interesting.
Xu Ning asked, "Thatched Hut, if I wait until I reach the Golden Core stage, how will I deal with those massive amounts of treasure-grade resources?"
He was only just established his foundation, and the first batch of resources had already sparked a resource war. If he reached the Golden Core stage, facing a vast amount of treasure-grade resources would cause even more turmoil.
After all, treasure-grade resources were actually very difficult to buy through normal trading thods. They were usually obtained through barter among Golden Core cultivators.
The thatched hut said, "That's indeed a problem, but it's not impossible!"
Xu Ning asked, "What way?"
The thatched hut said, "Upgrade the continent!"
Xu Ning was startled. "Upgrade the continent? You an, revive the spiritual energy?"
The thatched hut said, "That's right. Revive the spiritual energy, and the resources will increase dramatically. Then you'll naturally have enough."
Xu Ning nodded. "We'll see then! I don't want to face those behemoths right now!"
Xu Ning had made an agreent with the Tribulation Cloud before. Xu Ning was still hesitant about whether to et him.
Moreover, with the resources Xu Ning currently had, he really couldn't upgrade the behemoth that was the continent.
Imagine, even if Xu Ning spent ten billion spirit stones to upgrade the spirit spring, the resulting spiritual energy wouldn't be enough for his own use, let alone for upgrading the continent.
According to Xu Ning's calculations, to upgrade the continent, it would require hundreds of spirit springs continuously supplying it for hundreds of years, barely enough ti to advance even one grade.
Forget it, he thought. Let's continue cultivating!
Currently, Xu Ning was cultivating using a legendary Yuan-grade Yuan Power Pill.
According to Xu Ning's calculations, in another ninety years or so, he would break through to the mid-Foundation Establishnt stage.
Ti flew, and the turmoil lasted for over fifty years, only slowly returning to calm after natural resources were replenished.
Xu Ning had learned his lesson. He no longer dared to acquire so many resources at once, but instead, as before, proceeded little by little.
It was better to be cautious. The more turbulent the situation, the less safe it was.
After all, Xu Ning had heard about the fate of Nascent Soul cultivators during the previous great war.
Now, Xu Ning wasn't particularly afraid of Golden Core cultivators, but he still harbored awe and fear towards Nascent Soul cultivators.
But how could the world of cultivation be peaceful?
The resource war had barely subsided when the demon race suddenly launched an attack, plunging the Crimson Sea Mountains into tension.
The demon race was well aware of the long-standing internal strife among humans. They were taking advantage of the fact that human cultivators at the Foundation Establishnt stage were severely weakened to launch their attack, hoping to reclaim the Crimson Sea Mountains.
Upon hearing the news, Xu Ning couldn't help but toss out three leaves to check the fortune of the Heavenly Inheritance Sect.
