Mu Yuling?

Pang Juan pondered for a moment, but couldn't recall any Golden Core cultivators in the vicinity whose surname was Mu.

He immediately said with a look of disdain,

"So you were just an unknown rogue cultivator. To tell you the truth, I have connections in the Penglai Sect. Gong Ying, one of Mr. Lan Er's shop assistants, is my sister!"

If you dare to disobey me today, I can make sure you can't enter the Penglai Sect!

Pang Juan's words carried far, and many people stood up and looked in their direction.

"Gong Ying, the receptionist at the front door of Mr. Lan's alchemy shop is named Gong Ying!"

"It's true. I used to go to Yunxia Market often and I saw it..."

"She used to be a shop assistant... now she's at least an inner disciple!"

"Especially since the Yunxia Sect values ​​sisterhood the most, it seems she really has the confidence to say that!"

...

The whispers around her reached Mu Yuling's ears, making her feel a little flustered.

But she still didn't move aside, and said loudly.

"My older sister is also in the Yunxia Sect, her name is Mu Yufeng!"

Mu Yufeng?

who?

Not only did the people in front of them show signs of contemplation, but even some of the independent cultivators who frequently entered and exited Yunxia Market had never heard of this name.

"I've never heard of this name in Yunxia Market..."

"Don't even mention you, I've been renting a cave dwelling for two months and haven't heard of it!"

...

Hearing the surrounding whispers, Mu Yuling's heart sank to the bottom.

Not only is there a possibility of retaliation from the other party, but more importantly...

Her sister is probably not here...

Pang Juan raised his head high and said in a cold voice,

"Now, can we move aside?"

Ignoring the woman behind her who was tugging at her clothes, Mu Yuling also raised her head.

"I won't allow it! I refuse to believe you dare to act recklessly and ruin your sisters' reputation!"

"you!"

Pang Juan glared angrily at Mu Yuling.

If this happened anywhere else, she would have had her servants kill several Qi Refining cultivators long ago.

But this is the entrance to the Penglai Sect...

"Find me another place, and I'll give you a thousand spirit stones!"

...

"Fellow Daoist Mu, you shouldn't have argued with her just now..."

"She's bullying me, why shouldn't I fight back?"

Mu Yuling glanced at the new spot the group had found, still feeling unconvinced.

If her sister weren't here, her desire to join the Penglai Sect wouldn't be as strong...

"My name is Feng Yin, and this is my daughter, Huang Minyi. Thank you for your righteous help, Fellow Daoist Mu!"

"You're older than me, so I'll call you Aunt Feng, and you can just call me Yuling!"

Looking at Mu Yuling's innocent and cheerful smile, Feng Yin's mood improved considerably.

If her own daughter hadn't had any health problems, she probably would have a smile just like hers.

But glancing at Pang Juan not far away, he couldn't help but sigh.

Originally, the daughter was unable to move and only had very few opportunities to encounter high-level cultivators from the Penglai Sect.

Now... the hope is probably even slimmer.

Main vein secret chamber,

In the blink of an eye, Ye Feng had spent over a year in the cultivation space using a hundredfold time acceleration.

After learning that the Qingyun Sect had rescued them and that Li Qinghe and Uncle Fu were unharmed...

He then went directly into the cultivation space to cultivate in seclusion.

It's not just about summarizing the experiences from a few battles; it's also about organizing the techniques.

There are still array plates that need to be refined, and the Mark Armor and Thousand Illusions also need to be repaired.

This time, he directly crafted over a hundred array plates.

The cost of a single array plate is roughly 60,000 to 70,000 high-grade spirit stones, and this place alone has spent 6 to 7 million.

Repairing the Mark Armor and the Thousand Illusions also starts at a million.

Adding the previous refining costs and the status recovery costs in battle, I now have less than five million trading points left.

This was the result of an auction held on Penglai Island in the East China Sea, which reclaimed a significant number of trading points.

but,

Much of the Black Cloud Sect's supplies were obtained through robbery.

One robbery, double the reward.

Not only will you receive the full amount of transaction points, but you'll also get a sum of spirit stones!

Sigh... Murder and arson bring wealth and power.

Perhaps, in the future, I should learn from the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Heavenly Demon Sect, and also cause trouble for the Central Sect... Others gain one reward, I gain two! A huge profit!

However, the essence of trading is still circulation.

If you ruin your reputation, it will probably be difficult to do business in the future.

Moreover, if he robbed everyone out of business, no one would want to do business with him anymore.

It's not worth the risk...

Not only that,

Previously, when Ye Feng was in the East Sea, he directly exchanged and sold the advancement spirit fruits.

The acquired spirit stones were directly credited to the system.

Ye Feng ultimately earned approximately thirty to forty million high-grade spirit stones, but this was only three to four tenths of the profit after the system's exchange.

In reality, they probably recharged nearly 100 million high-quality items.

This move directly led to a tightening of the island's spirit stone currency and a drop in prices.

According to Li Fengling, the Star Soul Hall's estimated price for spirit herbs has been reduced to 60%.

Other spiritual items have also seen significant price reductions.

Not to mention the East Sea, even the Qingyun Sect is being affected to some extent.

Ye Feng roughly estimated based on the percentage decrease in prices.

Throughout Tiannan, the market price for spirit stones is approximately two billion high-grade ones.

The actual stock should not exceed 10 times this number.

The 100 million that reached Ye Feng and disappeared is only one two-hundredth of the total amount.

But if it triggers a chain reaction... then it's hard to say what might happen.

Of course, this is just a wild guess based on his limited experience from his previous life.

After all, there are spirit stone veins in this world, and a large number of spirit stones are mined every day.

But ultimately, relying solely on spirit stones for exchange is not a viable solution.

Ultimately, the goal is to expand the business.

If we could expand our business to the entire southern region, the daily transaction volume would probably be in the hundreds of thousands or millions!

At that time, you can upgrade whatever you want.

If there aren't enough trading opportunities, then wait two years.

So awesome!

The moment Ye Feng stepped out, Xiao Xuan summoned him.

"The mountain gate and main hall are almost finished, and there are many people outside who want to join the sect. Look..."

Ye Feng pondered for a moment,

Before going into seclusion, he replenished the seal on the Golden Core and Nascent Soul cultivators of the Black Cloud Sect once more.

The main force responsible for building the mountain gate and clearing the site now consists of Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Black Cloud Sect.

However, the Black Cloud Sect is ultimately a demonic sect, robbing and killing with an unbridled nature, and will eventually be eliminated by Ye Feng, with most of its members being eliminated.

“We definitely need to recruit them. We can’t trust the people from the Black Cloud Sect, especially you. It’s best if you don’t leave the main formation… I’ll go to the Azure Cloud Sect first and see if I can borrow some manpower!”

They will also be more experienced in testing disciples.

Xiao Xuan nodded in agreement.

Although she was born into the Hunyuan Sect and had a wide range of knowledge, she certainly couldn't rely entirely on the Yunxia Sect's subordinates, who had never been to a sect and lacked experience in managing a large sect, to handle such a large task as recruiting disciples.

"Okay, you... you'd better come back in the next couple of days. Ideally, you should bring Sister Qinghe over. Otherwise, what kind of business is it to keep running back and forth?"

"By the way, we've designed a few sets of sect attire together. Please confirm them before you leave so that everyone can quickly mobilize resources for production!"

These past few days, materials have been frequently moved around for construction, and I don't know how much money has been spent.

Furthermore, with the maintenance of a level-five formation at full power, it generates several thousand high-grade spirit stones every day.

Only when you're in charge do you realize how expensive oil and rice are.

If Ye Feng hadn't been so frugal with his own resources, his new sect would probably have been in dire straits in no time.

Ye Feng finally chose a white outfit with two gold trims.

Cultivation of immortality is better kept simple.

As for what the two gold borders mean... well, let them figure that out for themselves.

Anyway, Ye Feng thought it looked pretty good...
