Since they have chosen to settle in the market, most people certainly cannot live in a shop, and eventually they still have to find a quiet place to live.

Master Taihong is just taking a small gamble. According to the various characteristics currently shown by the Universal Market, it is very cost-effective to buy early before the price rises.

In the design of Huanyu Fangshi, there are buildings with shops in the front and residences in the back, as well as purely commercial buildings.

Big powers like Baibao Pavilion and Yueying Palace don't need residential buildings, because they need to develop their business attributes to sell and purchase raw materials.

However, independent practitioners need buildings with separated front and back parts. They can open a small shop in the front to do business and use the back part as a workshop or training room, which perfectly combines the two properties.

"The buildings in our market are of the type that are only rented and not sold. The contract is renewed every ten years." Lin Xiang does not want to make a one-time profit, but to make money continuously.

His business philosophy is completely copied from those modern large shopping malls, and it is difficult to sell at a high price at this stage.

Lin Xiang smiled and dismissed the suspicion: "A young man told me that renting out the land is very suitable for the development of the market town and can reduce your capital investment. In addition to the buildings in the market town, the courtyards will be sold in limited quantities. The land belongs to me, but you can do whatever you want with the courtyards, even if it means demolishing them."

"As long as I am here, your purchase agreement will remain in effect. Unless it is a matter of life and death, I will not touch your land. If I do, you can claim compensation from me."

Taoist Tai Hong and the others immediately grew frustrated. "Ten years is too short! Time flies faster and faster as time goes on. We might go into seclusion once, and ten years might have already passed by the time we come out. How about we set it to a hundred years, and sign a lease contract every hundred years?"

"A hundred years is a very long time, long enough to kill an entire generation. The maximum contract period is twenty years. Under the same conditions, we will give priority to you old tenants each time we sign a contract. For the first contract, you only need to pay one spirit stone as rent."

Lin Xiang’s most important idea now is to bring them in first and then earn their rent in the next twenty years.

When doing business in the world of cultivation, one must have a long-term vision, because business can be done for many, many years.

These sects and the Treasure Pavilion are all movable signs that can help advertise and attract monks to come and consume or settle down.

Even the player Tai Er Zhenren began to admire Lin Xiang's courage. In order to attract customers, he was willing to obtain the lease rights of the commercial building at such a low price.

Even Shopkeeper Han, who has been doing business for a long time, has never encountered such a thing, which means that he can come to this market at almost no cost.

Originally, they had all been prepared for Lin Xiang's huge appetite, but now they didn't expect that the appetite of the mysterious sacrificial spirit in front of them was even bigger than they had imagined, as if it was in the atmosphere.

"Master Ji Ling is indeed generous. No wonder he was able to develop this market."

"With you here, Master Jiling, the Huanyu Market will have no worries about its development!"

“So generous!”

Those who achieve great things do not pay attention to trivial matters. In their opinion, Lin Xiang is not limited to the small profits in front of him. He must have a clear enough plan for the future, otherwise he will lose money in the future.

Lin Xiang smiled at the compliment and said, "I am indeed full of confidence in the future of Huanyu Fang City. This place will become a treasure land and may provide you with unexpected gains. Let's go take a look at the buildings over there?"

At this time, the two Foundation Establishment cultivators who had been observing silently on the side suddenly spoke.

"Master Ji Ling, we also want to buy a small courtyard here. Is it possible?"

"Yes, there is abundant spiritual energy in Huanyu Fangshi, and we often go on adventures in the Shiwan Mountains. It is a good place to rest."

Yan Yuntian and Gu En were good friends invited by Xu Huiyun to help out so as to avoid any danger in Huanyu Market.

This time I didn't see any danger, but instead saw business opportunities.

Both of them are disciples of second-rate sects. Due to their own qualifications, they are unable to make further progress, so they want to return to the mortal world to get married and have children, so as to start a new cultivation family.

All the mature markets are already crowded with shops, and now the emergence of this new market has given them opportunities and ideas.

If you can buy a store in the Universal Market, you won't lose money no matter what you sell, and it can even be a good place for your family to stay.

So far, they have not been able to find a suitable place to expand their family.

Lin Xiang thought that these two people were very smart. If they spoke up now, they would enjoy the treatment of a first-class sect.

Because if other independent cultivators, sects or families want to rent a store, his subordinate Tan Mengru will take over the store rental matters.

Yueying Palace and Baibao Pavilion can enjoy the treatment of renting for 20 years with one spirit stone, but the rest of the people have to pay real money.

"Of course you can. Which two stores have you chosen? Now tell me, and I'll give you the spells to manipulate the restrictions."

Yan Nantian and his companion were quite sensible. They did not choose a purely commercial store with the best location, but instead chose a complex building with a commercial building in front and a courtyard in the back, which was quite in line with their needs and positioning.

Since I have decided to establish a cultivation family, I will of course save as much spirit stones as possible.

…

"Sister Piaopiao, how do you feel after joining Yueying Palace?" Jiuge asked. He had been helping Bingxuepiaopiao water her spiritual fields, but his Xiaoyunyu Jue was of a low level, so the watering efficiency was very slow, which could only ensure that the spiritual rice would not die of thirst due to lack of water.

Bingxue Piaopiao replied while casting a spell, "I feel alright, right? Actually, we haven't truly entered the sect yet, and we're not even considered outer disciples. Originally, after becoming disciples, we had to return to Yueying Palace to undergo the examination of Mingyuejing before we could officially become disciples. But today, a Jindan-stage cultivator came, so Tai Er and I turned back."

"Then after you go to Moon Shadow Palace, what will you do with the spiritual fields here?"

Jiuge asked curiously, "Is the spiritual field going to be abandoned?"

The spiritual fields belonging to Lin Xiang nearby were all lush and green, with ears of spiritual rice hanging all over them, looking bent under the weight.

Lin Xiang can issue tasks to players to help him water the plants. At the same time, there are clam monsters who work tirelessly to water the plants from morning to night. The spiritual energy is abundant and it looks like the harvest is about to come.

However, the spiritual rice in Bingxuepiaopiao's spiritual field was somewhat underdeveloped. Not only were the rice leaves yellow, but they were not even as tall as those in the spiritual field next door.

This is the inconvenience for farming players.

Spiritual rice has an extremely high demand for spiritual energy and spiritual water, and someone needs to take good care of it every day without any slacking off for even a single day.

If all the land was planted with silver arrow grass, she could just be a hands-off manager and come back occasionally to check for pests and diseases.

"I asked that Master Taihong on the way. After joining the sect, learning skills, and receiving benefits, I can accept a garrison mission. They plan to open a sect station here in Huanyu Market. In addition to Foundation Establishment cultivators, they also need at least ten Qi Refining cultivators. I have already asked him to reserve a spot in advance."

The outer disciples of Yueying Palace will also be assigned a small courtyard. Bingxuepiaopiao plans to plant silver arrow grass in the courtyard over there, so she can run between the two.

Jiuge suddenly realized, "I hope I can join your Yueying Palace. I don't even know what the attributes of my spiritual roots are. I'm about to reach level 10. I've waited too long."

"Thank you for helping me take care of the spiritual fields. Without you, these spiritual rice would have withered." Bingxuepiaopiao thanked her earnestly. She took out a sharp spider leg from the package and said, "This is something we harvested during our adventures. Although it's not as good as a magic weapon, if you polish it, it will still be sharper than ordinary weapons and can be used to deal with demons and evil spirits."

"Sister Piaopiao, please take it back quickly. I'm not helping you take care of the spiritual fields for any reward, and I can also gain experience points and skill proficiency."

"I have the Black Snake Sword, a magical weapon. Spider Legs are useless to me. It will be very troublesome if you don't have a weapon right now. Please accept it."

Bingxuepiaopiao is not the kind of person who is ungrateful. She knows that helping her water the plants every day will take up at least an hour of game time, which is extremely difficult for any player who is not related to her.

Jiuge couldn't resist the other party, so he happily put the long spider leg, which was as sharp as a spear, into the game package.

He said to Bingxue Piaopiao, "Sister Piaopiao, since you are going to Yueying Palace, I will officially entrust the others to help you water and fertilize every day. I will go and upgrade now and prepare to leave to become your disciple."

"I'm going to post a question on the forum, at least until I get back."

"It would be great if there was a teleportation array. I don't know how long it would take if I were to travel on my own."

Jiuge did not use his experience points to exchange for skills from the spirit sacrificer, but instead prepared to rush to level 10 in one go.

Will I still lack skills after becoming a disciple in a sect?

Although the sect skills are not as easy to pick up as cabbage, at least the range of choices is much wider.

After saying goodbye to Bingxuepiaopiao, Jiuge came to the market town from Lingtian.

After not paying attention for a few hours, he discovered that there were several different signs in the market.

"Is the Treasure Pavilion here?"

"The Moon Shadow Palace headquarters will appear soon!"

"There are also the Wanmiao Pavilion and Tianjian Sect headquarters."

"Master Ji Ling really didn't lie. He has indeed started to operate the market now."

"Now I don't have to go far to become your disciple, right? Hahahaha, it's right at my doorstep."

"When will the Treasure Pavilion open? What's the point of just hanging a sign?"

"No way, I'll be able to become a disciple at level 10 tomorrow, so I won't be able to see the lively scene here then."

"I bet you will come back, and then we can all go to the Shiwan Mountains together to get the demons."

The originally deserted commercial street finally had a bit of vitality, and players began to look forward to the scene of these commercial buildings opening for business.
