Nightmare Immortal Era

Chapter 70: Sales Line

In the high altitude of 8,000 meters, a flying boat came from the northeast, swiftly breaking through the clouds and heading southwest.

Yang Ning leaned against the deck, sprinkling cloud mist droplets while listening to the employees on the flying boat bragging, and observing the human scenery below.

The Extreme Eternal realm has a long history. Although the productivity is low, with the help of cultivators, it is not considered sparsely populated. Under the flying boat, there are continuous farmlands, and occasionally, one can see a city.

When the people in the city see the flying boat in the sky, they don't kneel down like the people on Earth would when they see an airplane. Most of them don't even bother to look up, while some children would chase after the flying boat for a while and then stop.

"I invented the curved plow seven years ago, but they are still using the straight plow for farming here!" Yang Ning was somewhat amazed. With the help of the Cloud Mist Information Matrix, he could see clearly. It was currently the busy farming season, and the previous batch of crops had already been harvested, so the land needed to be plowed again.

But the farmers here struggled with the straight plow, which not only had low efficiency but also lacked oxen!

It's not that there were no oxen. After the flying boat traveled forty kilometers, Yang Ning saw three luxurious mansions with oxen inside.

However, these oxen were used to provide food for the main family's cultivation and were not used for farming.

"Hello, Brother Yang, I am the captain of this flying boat, my name is Wen Ze!" A voice sounded behind Yang Ning.

Yang Ning immediately turned around and saw a young man dressed in a white brocade robe, with a green jade hairpin inserted in his hair. He was 1.85 meters tall, had a narrow face, and was extremely handsome.

To be honest, this person looked like a poet, a singer, or a young idol who could sing, dance, rap, and play basketball, but he didn't look like a captain.

But this is the Immortal Cultivation World, where it is normal for one's identity and appearance to not match.

"Hello, Brother Wen!" Yang Ning quickly greeted him and extended his hand. It's always good to be friendly.

"I heard that you boarded the ship, and I wanted to come and see you earlier, but I was really busy!" Wen Ze smiled and said, "As you know, this ship is heading to the sect. If anything happens, I can't afford the responsibility!"

"I understand!" Yang Ning nodded. "I'm not anyone important, and it's not necessary for me to meet you."

"But you are different!" Wen Ze smiled. "Although you don't know me, I know you very well. You invented glasses, right? Previously, this ship used to bring things to the Immortal Ascension Academy from the sect, and then return empty. But now, many inner disciples, outer disciples, and even the servants and attendants on the mountain are interested in glasses. The ship is now filled with hundreds of thousands of pairs of glasses!"

"Hundreds of thousands?" Yang Ning was surprised and asked, "I can understand that the disciples of the sect would like glasses, but isn't hundreds of thousands a bit exaggerated? Does the sect have that many disciples? And don't they all have their own artifact refining masters? Glasses shouldn't be difficult to make, right?"

"Of course, they are not all for the disciples of the sect!" Wen Ze laughed. "After passing the sect, this ship will transport goods to the south, to the Hundred Nations Battlefield. You know, the sun is strong there, so there is a high demand for sunglasses!"

"The Hundred Nations Battlefield? What is that place?" Yang Ning asked.

He had heard of this term, but he didn't know the specific details. It wasn't mentioned in the Universal Records, so Yang Ning guessed that it was a newly discovered map that was created after the Universal Records was compiled.

"Oh, it's all because of those brats from Tianyi!" Wen Ze's face immediately turned dark when he mentioned this. "That place used to be under the control of our Extreme Eternal Sect. There was a sect called Nanming located there. But forty years ago, the old sect master of Nanming died, and the new sect master publicly declared that Nanming was leaving Extreme Eternal and joining the First Heaven Sect. Can you tolerate that?"

"I definitely can't tolerate it!" Yang Ning immediately shook his head.

Nanming Sect was adjacent to Extreme Eternal, and now it suddenly became a part of the First Heaven Sect. It was like the enemy pointing their guns at their faces!

"Exactly! We in Extreme Eternal can't tolerate it either!" Wen Ze slapped his thigh. "We were furious, and that guy died. After his death, Nanming Sect split into forty to fifty factions. In addition to the dozens of small sects that were originally affiliated with Nanming Sect, there are now more than 140 forces in that tiny place!"

"That's really outrageous!" Yang Ning agreed.

"Who says it's not!" Wen Ze nodded and said, "It used to be a struggle between Extreme Eternal and the First Heaven Sect, but now more and more forces are getting involved. Among these 140 forces, some are supported by Extreme Eternal, some have the backing of the First Heaven Sect, and there are also the South Sea Trading House, the Yingzhou Scattered Immortal Alliance, the Nanhai Man Family, and even the Great Principle Sect and the Primary Origin Pill Cauldron Sect, all of which have their own supported forces among them."

"No wonder it's called the Battlefield of a Hundred Nations!"

"That's right, that's how it got its name!" Wen Ze laughed. "Many inner disciples of Extreme Eternal also participated. If you become an inner disciple in the future, maybe you can also go to the Battlefield of a Hundred Nations and make a name for yourself in the entire Extreme Eternal World!"

"Becoming an inner disciple is not that easy!" Yang Ning smiled and didn't pursue the topic.

"There is hope, there is hope!" Wen Ze smiled.

Yang Ning responded twice, as if he remembered something, and asked, "By the way, you said before that from Immortal Ascension Academy to the sect, it's an empty ship?"

"Yes!" Wen Ze nodded. "The sect doesn't need the things from Immortal Ascension Academy. Instead, the sect provides a lot of support to Immortal Ascension Academy, such as minerals, food, and meat. The situation is the same for other lines."

"Doesn't the sect need medicinal herbs and minerals produced in the mortal world?" Yang Ning asked.

"The sect has its own small world, with an area of billions of acres. Why would it need medicinal herbs from outside?" Wen Ze countered. "The same goes for minerals. Mortal minerals are useless to immortals. They would directly move spiritual materials!"

"I see!" Yang Ning understood. It made sense. If you were an immortal who could move mountains and pluck the moon, would you bother with mining step by step? You would definitely just move the entire mountain.

Thinking about it, Yang Ning felt somewhat fortunate.

It's a good thing he didn't choose to leave the sect, otherwise, wouldn't the channel for spiritual materials be cut off?

"Since you can transport glasses for the Nan Gong family, can you also transport things for us?" Yang Ning asked again.

"Of course!" Wen Ze nodded. Suddenly, he thought of something and his eyes lit up. "Are you planning to sell that thing you invented, the car?"

"Do you think the car has potential?" Yang Ning asked.

"Well," Wen Ze stroked his chin. "To be honest, if you sell it to the public, I really want to buy one and try it out. But inner disciples and outer disciples probably don't need it."

"What if I sell it to the kings, princes, and nobles of mortal countries?"

Wen Ze's eyes lit up, and he raised his thumb. "Then I can only say, it will definitely sell like crazy!"

"What if I produce cars and you help me with transportation and sales?" Yang Ning asked again. "I will give you a factory price, and you can decide the retail price."

He noticed that Wen Ze's cultivation was only at the Seventh Layer of the physical body, just one layer higher than his own. Obviously, Wen Ze also had a need for money.

And as the captain of a flying ship, Wen Ze's life and social circle would definitely involve other flying ship captains. In Extreme Eternal World, flying ships were the transportation lines, equivalent to trains, planes, and trucks on Earth!

In business, how can one stay away from transportation lines?

"No problem!" Wen Ze's face immediately burst into a brilliant smile. "Brother Yang is giving me a chance to make a fortune. I definitely have to seize it!"

Being a flying ship captain and controlling the transportation lines of the sect and Immortal Ascension Academy, his background was not comparable to small families like the Nan Gong family.

When ordinary disciples of Immortal Ascension Academy hitched a ride, he would at most come up to pay respects and that's it. Why would they chat so much, if not for knowing that Yang Ning's invention of the car had caused a sensation in the entire city and was profitable?

Originally, he wanted to indirectly bring the conversation to the topic of cars, but he didn't expect Yang Ning to bring it up himself.

Now, they were both heading in the same direction!
