She immediately took off her clothes, leaving only her undergarments and trousers. The loose-fitting robe she wore fit her body perfectly.

"How about that!" Xu Ni flicked her sleeves and put her hands behind her back.

"A monkey wearing a crown," Jiang Xiaoyue said, her jealousy blatant.

"Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful!" the fairy clapped.

Xu Ni was extremely proud, but quickly sat down again: "From now on, the three of us can cooperate. Xiao Yue will be in charge of refining pills, Xian'er will draw talismans, and I will collect materials and sell them for you. The three of us will make a fortune together!"

"And there's more!" She took out the pioneering jade talisman, looking mysterious. "Do you know what this is?"

"What?" Shenxian'er didn't know.

Jiang Xiaoyue didn't understand either.

"This is a pioneering jade token issued by the seven major sects. With it, you can legally start a new field."

"Whether it's claiming land on Wangyue Lake or establishing markets in the mountains and forests, you can gain the recognition of the seven major sects and pay 70% of your taxes. In return, they will send people to protect the safety of your markets!"

"Seventy percent? That much?" Shenxian'er exclaimed in surprise.

“Unless we reach the Foundation Establishment stage and have enough money to buy a magic array… No!” Xu Ni suddenly jumped up.

She exclaimed, "We have a senior! The senior is the strongest magic array! We only need to deal with the Qi Refining stage cultivators!"

She jumped up, her chest, clearly outlined by her robes, swaying.

"Xiaoyue! Xian'er! We've struck it rich!"

"We can use the money from reselling to build a market town. We'll build it in the most dangerous place. Anyway, with our seniors here, all the spiritual herbs and minerals there will be ours!"

Jiang Xiaoyue and Shen Xian'er were dumbfounded.

It wasn't just because of Xu Ni's unconventional thinking, but because this method was indeed feasible.

Many powerful demons dwell in places rich in spiritual energy, or even live directly on spirit stone mines. Others may be afraid, but they are not!

They only need to face the Qi Refining stage, and with the Golden Light Talisman, what is there to fear about the Qi Refining stage?

[...]

Li Changzhou never expected that he had never worked on Earth because of the Value Game, but now that he has become so powerful, he would be forced to work.

He wanted to change "Foundation Establishment Stage" to "Golden Core Stage".

"Senior, can you deal with a powerful demon at the Golden Core stage?" Xu Ni asked hurriedly.

Well, never mind. Of all his countless virtues, keeping his word is of paramount importance.

Do you know who you're talking to?

I am the uncrowned god, the king of the black mist; with a flick of my sleeve, I swallow a galaxy of starlight.

The gods are powerless, but I am powerless.

The three people: "......"

"Senior," Xu Ni whispered, "I just want to know if you can defeat a powerful demon at the Golden Core stage?"

Playing the lute to a cow.

If Li Qianxia were here, she would have already shouted "Long live Onii-chan!" and then asked him for a "reward".

How many masters are there in the Golden Core stage? We'll kill as many as they come.

Xu Ni's excited expression vanished, and she tugged at Jiang Xiaoyue, muttering, "Why am I not confident?"

Jiang Xiaoyue's expression was serious. Even Xu Ni felt uncertain, so this matter was probably false.

Senior, you can't handle a Golden Core cultivator!

"Let's think about this carefully, let's think about this carefully!" she whispered.

Xu Ni nodded.

The fairy gripped the branch tightly, her face flushed red. How embarrassing!

The three of them finished cleaning up Dong XZ and left the room.

The fishing season is coming to an end, and many cultivators are about to return home. It's a good time to broaden their horizons.

On the deck, many cultivators were carrying fish baskets. Storage bags were expensive; even the lowest grade cost 100 spirit stones. A farming cultivator like Jiang Xiaoyue could never afford one, even if she died.

"White-scaled fish? Good luck to you, fellow virtuous man!"

"Luckily, luckily, hahahaha!" Fellow Daoist Fang couldn't contain himself and burst into laughter before he could finish speaking.

"This one," Xu Ni said to the other two through a gap in the crowd, pointing to a fish covered in white scales in the fish basket, "one hundred spirit stones!"

The three were staring enviously at the white-scaled fish when suddenly someone shouted, "Little Azure Dragon!"

A loach that looks just like a green dragon.

The crowd of onlookers was packed in layers.

"How much is this?" Shenxian'er asked curiously.

Xu Ni shook her head: "Me neither..."

“Fellow Daoist, the Zhou family has offered 500 spirit stones.”

"The Liu family got 800 yuan!"

"Qingyue Sect, 1000 coins."

"Hiss—" Three people... more than three people, many cultivators gasped.

Soon, a knowledgeable cultivator pointed out the little green dragon's wonderful use: this loach inhales and exhales spiritual energy, and what it excretes is spirit crystal, making it a goose that lays golden eggs.

"It's a pity that this little azure dragon is too small, otherwise it would have produced spirit stones!"

"I heard that the Mingyue Sect has three members, all of whom have taken longevity pills and are now over 800 years old, producing 3 high-grade spirit stones a day!"

One high-grade spirit stone is equal to one thousand mid-grade spirit stones, which is equal to one million low-grade spirit stones!

One million!

Three units per day, three million!

Xu Ni's eyes were red.

"Let me calculate, let me calculate," the fairy murmured, "One spirit crystal can be exchanged for ten thousand taels of silver, and a low-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for ten spirit crystals..."

She finally realized that Master Liu was nothing.

She killed Master Liu to avenge Xiao Lü, but she wouldn't "get away with it," because Master Liu would be the one who broke the law.

Another cultivator whispered, "What are you envious of? Even just maintaining their mana requires one high-grade spirit stone per month. If they were to cultivate... ha, let alone three a day, even thirty wouldn't be enough!"

The disciples of the Foundation Establishment family nodded.

Don't be fooled by their wealth compared to independent cultivators; they know their own situation well. They earn more but spend even more, and if they're not careful, they can easily run into a deficit, so they need to cut expenses.
