News of the "Trade Verification Token" system spread quickly throughout the Eastern Cosmos. Cultivators buzzed with excitement – a foolproof way to identify legitimate Astral Jade City merchants!
The system was simple: each registered merchant received a jade token engraved with intricate symbols, infused with a miniscule amount of Wang Jian's divine essence.
Upon presenting the token, a handheld verification device, readily available throughout the city, would emit a soft glow, confirming the token's authenticity.
The plan proved to be a masterstroke. The fake caravans vanished as quickly as they appeared. The Nangong Family's attempt at manipulating trade routes backfired spectacularly. With cultivators opting for the guaranteed legitimacy of Astral Jade City merchants, trade returned to its previous heights, even exceeding it.
