Chapter 808: The Influence of the Windmother Pattern

The silence persisted in the lakeside plaza, yet everyone's hearts were churning with turbulent waves. Such a shock left them unsure of what expressions to display.

Had Vice Pavilion Master Zhou Yuan really created a genesis pattern far superior to the Tracing Mark?

Witnessing the dozen or so people return from testing, their eyes filled with such fervor they seemed ready to melt Zhou Yuan, every Wind Pavilion member's heart began to pound wildly. If this were truly the case... then the entire Four Pavilions would surely be thrown into an uproar!

Chen Beifeng, who had been frozen stiff, slowly regained his composure. His mouth was dry, and he finally let out a grating, dry laugh, his voice hoarse as he asked, "Did you hire these people to put on a show?"

He was still making a last-ditch effort. However, this time, no one seconded his remark. Many knew that several of those dozen individuals were neutral members of the Wind Pavilion, and given their personalities, they were unlikely to intentionally deceive, as it would be too easily exposed.

Zhou Yuan ignored him, simply looking around and calmly stating, "The Wind Mother Pattern costs half a Return Origin Coin per piece, with a minimum purchase of two. Due to limited time, only two hundred have been produced this time, so each person is limited to purchasing two."

"Because of the limited quantity, this sale is exclusively for our supporters and neutral members. As for Vice Pavilion Master Chen Beifeng's faction, we can discuss it later."

"Furthermore, once production increases, we'll offer discounts to our long-standing friends."

As Zhou Yuan's words fell, Chen Beifeng's expression turned extremely grim. Zhou Yuan was openly targeting them!

Some of Chen Beifeng's supporters nearby also had shifting expressions. They had previously mocked Zhou Yuan and his allies for their predicament, but unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, they found themselves in a similar situation.

"Let's begin," Zhou Yuan clapped his hands.

The next moment, a clamor erupted around them, and a dense crowd surged forward, their eyes filled with fervor.

Observing the somewhat frantic crowd, Zhou Yuan and Ye Bingling stepped back two paces, while Yi Qiushui quickly led her people forward to maintain order.

His gaze pierced through the crowd to Chen Beifeng, who stood not far away. The latter's face was terrifyingly grim, and his eyes, like daggers, locked onto Zhou Yuan. But Zhou Yuan remained completely unfazed, returning a faint smile.

This is all your own doing!

The two hundred Wind Mother Patterns were snatched up in a matter of minutes. Many who failed to get one were filled with disappointment, but the surging crowd only gradually dispersed after Zhou Yuan promised more Wind Mother Patterns would be available tomorrow.

Yi Qiushui's pretty face was alight with excitement; in just a few minutes, one hundred Return Origin Coins had been acquired.

Zhou Yuan, however, remained calm. He knew this was just an appetizer. As the Wind Mother Pattern spread, it would surely completely defeat the Tracing Mark within the Wind Pavilion. In the future, the Tracing Mark would likely become unsellable there.

Furthermore, with the experience of creating the Wind Mother Pattern, he could even produce Fire Mother Patterns, Forest Mother Patterns, and Mountain Mother Patterns in the future. By then, the entire Four Pavilions would have no market for the Tracing Mark.

Of course, one must eat one's meal bite by bite. Zhou Yuan had no intention of exposing the other three genesis patterns all at once. At the very least, he would wait until he became the Wind Pavilion Master before implementing them.

As the crowd dispersed, Chen Beifeng approached with his people. His gaze, dark and brooding, fixed on Zhou Yuan as he slowly said, "Zhou Yuan, you are indeed a genius."

To be able to develop the Wind Mother Pattern in just a few days clearly demonstrated Zhou Yuan's astonishing mastery of genesis patterns.

"However... creating the Wind Mother Pattern might bring you even greater trouble. I hope you won't regret it then." Chen Beifeng's words hissed coldly through his teeth before he turned and departed. Yet, his retreating figure undeniably conveyed a hint of discomfiture.

Zhou Yuan calmly watched them leave. He naturally understood the trouble Chen Beifeng referred to; it would likely come from the Fire Pavilion, as the emergence of the Wind Mother Pattern would seize the market from the Tracing Mark.

However, he hoped the Fire Pavilion wouldn't make any foolish moves. Otherwise, if they truly provoked him into revealing the other three Mother Patterns, the Tracing Mark would genuinely be forced out of the Four Pavilions.

Within half a day of the Wind Mother Patterns being completely sold out, more and more people publicized their effects. This directly sent shockwaves through the entire Wind Pavilion. Everyone was excitedly discussing the same topic, their faces flushed: the Wind Mother Pattern!

This forty percent improvement effect undoubtedly left everyone speechless with shock. If it weren't for an increasing number of people personally experiencing and confirming it, some would likely still refuse to believe.

What exactly did a forty percent effect mean?

It meant that one could almost condense the Wind Spirit Pattern in nearly half the usual time!

In the Four Pavilions, time was of utmost importance.

The three-year time limit compelled everyone in the Four Pavilions to seize every second. How great an advantage would an additional half of the cultivation time bring?

Many who hadn't purchased the Wind Mother Pattern watched those who had experienced its profound effects gesticulate wildly with excitement, their eyes filled with envy and jealousy. At the same time, they resolved to acquire a Wind Mother Pattern the next day, convinced that if things continued this way, they would surely fall behind.

The growing fervor spread throughout the Wind Pavilion, eventually extending beyond it and causing immense shock in the other three pavilions.

Especially within the Fire Pavilion, many members exchanged bewildered glances, feeling a sense of dread. If the Wind Mother Pattern was truly as formidable as rumored, then their Tracing Marks would likely be ignored within the Wind Pavilion from now on.

This would be a significant blow to the Fire Pavilion.

After all, the Fire Pavilion's superior treatment compared to the other three pavilions was due to their unique skill, the Tracing Mark.

Now, however, the newly emerged Wind Mother Pattern had surpassed the Tracing Mark in the Wind Domain.

In the following days, as Zhou Yuan's proficiency increased, the daily production of Wind Mother Patterns reached nearly a thousand. Yet, despite this, they were still snatched up as soon as they became available, demonstrating astonishing popularity.

While the Wind Mother Patterns sold briskly within the Wind Pavilion, sales of the Tracing Mark plummeted. Eventually, many preferred to wait for the next day's Wind Mother Patterns rather than buy Tracing Marks.

When this information reached the Fire Pavilion, it immediately caused an uproar among its high-ranking members.

Fire Island, the entire island was suffused with a crimson hue. Flaming stones dotted the island, emitting scorching temperatures that made the air within it feel scalding.

At this moment, within a pavilion on the island, all the commanders and vice pavilion masters of the Fire Pavilion had gathered.

Wang Chen was also present, though given his status, he occupied only the sixth position here. The atmosphere in the hall was somewhat oppressive, and all eyes were directed towards the top seats, where two figures were seated.

The one on the right was a young man in white robes, his eyes slightly reddish, and a faint, peculiar fiery lotus pattern adorned his brow.

No trace of Genesis Qi fluctuated around him, yet the subtle aura of power he exuded filled everyone present with awe.

For he was none other than Lu Xiao, the Pavilion Master of the Fire Pavilion.

He was also currently the highest-ranked among the younger generation in the Tianyuan Region on the Hunyuan Heaven God Palace List, holding the ninth position. He was, in essence, the prominent figure among the Tianyuan Region's younger generation in the Divine Dwelling stage.

In Lu Xiao's hand, a crimson fan gently tapped his palm. He slightly turned his head to look at the person beside him: a man in a red robe. The Genesis Qi fluctuations emanating from the man were not strong, but a divine light converged at his brow, indicating powerful Spirit cultivation.

This was Zhu Lian, the Fire Pavilion's second-in-command and the creator of the Tracing Mark.

"How is it?" Lu Xiao suddenly spoke, his voice faint, in the quiet hall.

Zhu Lian's slightly closed eyes slowly opened. He gently placed a blank jade slip on the table.

His expression was not very good, but he ultimately shook his head slowly and said, "This Wind Mother Pattern has a self-destruct mechanism that is extremely sensitive. The moment I attempted to probe it, all traces were immediately erased... However, judging by the techniques used in its genesis pattern, this person's mastery of genesis patterns is quite profound."

"This Wind Mother Pattern... I cannot replicate it." His words carried a hint of anger and unwillingness.
