That day, Ling Tian came to the small town that Murong Xue mentioned. As she said, the development prospects were not very great. However, there were several mines here, and they all relied on making money here. The income was not high, so the sales volume of pills was limited.
There are also several small towns of similar size in the surrounding area, which are almost the same and can be regarded as slums in the world of immortal cultivation.
"It would be possible to gather these people together. Tens of thousands of immortal cultivators can be considered a good consumer group."
Three days later, Ling Tian built a small city in the center of these towns. It could accommodate more than 100,000 people. An iconic eight-story building in the middle could clearly see the entire city.
Ling Tian stood at the highest point and looked down at the small town, feeling quite proud. The city wall was very wide, and he had reserved a lot of space for further development, so he would first attract people from the surrounding areas to come over.
After more than a month, Lingcheng welcomed the first batch of residents. There were not many of them, only a few hundred low-level cultivators, but it was a good start. Ling Tian handed the city over to Song Yulan for management. With her, who had reached the great perfection of the Spirit Transformation Realm, the city must be extremely safe. It was just a small city, and those high-level cultivators would not be interested in such little benefit.
Song Yulan lived up to everyone's expectations and managed the town in an orderly manner. In just two years, she had developed the small town into a city with more than 200,000 permanent monks. The main means, of course, was to rely on cheap and high-quality elixirs. She was also a business genius. She introduced a limited sales model per person per month, which tied these monks here tightly.
Moreover, there is no property right here, everything is rented. It costs one low-grade spirit stone to enter the city, and one spirit stone to stay overnight. Over time, Lingcheng got a new city name, Yilingcheng.
Three years later, the small town has grown into a city with a population of millions, and is still developing. Of course, the process has encountered obstacles from many cities, but with the appearance of the divine monkey who has reached the great perfection of Lianxu, all these problems have been solved.
On this day, Ling Tian left here quietly and appeared outside a super large galaxy a few months later.
"This is the Metal Galaxy, just as it's described."
Ling Tian looked at the huge fiery red galaxy in the distance. Its area was at least a thousand times larger than Lingxing, but it was very strange. There were no plants on it, but the spiritual energy was very rich.
It was obvious that this star field had an owner. After a brief probing, Ling Tian found that the other party was definitely a powerful being in the Mahayana stage.
But no matter how powerful the boundary wall is, it cannot stop the four-winged fairy-eating ant king from devouring, which is also the reason why Ling Tian dares to come here.
After a few hours, a tiny hole appeared, and Ling Tian disappeared into the space. He was led in by the Ant King. Shortly after entering, the boundary wall automatically recovered. In a distant star field, a figure who had been sleeping for a long time suddenly opened his eyes, and was a little puzzled. "The boundary wall is broken a little. Could it be a meteorite from outside the domain that hit it?"
Because the boundary wall was only broken a little, he didn't believe that it was invaded by the broken wall, so he ignored it and continued to sleep and practice.
A few days later, Ling Tian finally arrived at a city here. Wutie City was very suitable for this star field. All the buildings in it were built with the black iron produced here. In terms of value alone, the price of the black iron in such a city is comparable to all of Ling Tian's wealth. It's really terrifying.
Wutie City is very huge, and the population inside is even larger. This city alone has at least hundreds of millions of people, but it is strange that the realms of the cultivators here are not strong. Most of them are just at the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stage, and there are not many who have reached the Core Formation stage.
After spending several days investigating, I finally found out the reason. It turned out that the high-level cultivators here were not gathered here, but were in the more advanced Secret Silver City.
The thing that is most abundant here is weapons, with a wide variety of them. Almost all the shops are weapon shops, but they all process and ship them out. I guess they have cooperation with other star fields. In addition to the weapon shops, there are only two places selling elixirs. Not only are the prices expensive, but the quality is not very good, but the business is very hot, especially the healing elixir. It turns out that the risk of mining here is very high, and they are often attacked by powerful metal monsters.
After some investigation, it was found that the two medicine shops belonged to the same person, the city lord Liu Shengxin, who was the strongest person here with the strength of the great perfection of the Jindan realm.
That night in the City Lord's Mansion, when Liu Shengxin was enjoying the service of the maid, suddenly a breeze blew by, and the two people who were still having sex fell asleep.
After just a few breaths, the two woke up again, still in the state of intercourse.
"strangeness?"
"City Lord, what's so strange? Come quickly."
"Oh, go on. Maybe I've been too tired thinking about turning it in lately."
In the void, Ling Tian watched a live pornographic show for free, which was quite exciting.
In fact, Ling Tian has already stolen all of Liu Shengxin's information. It was easy for him, and he also planted the seeds of suggestion deep in his mind. He has been controlled by Ling Tian.
"They actually have to hand over 100 billion low-grade spirit stones every year. This guy seems to be doing well, but he can only maintain the basic operation of the city. The oil and water are strictly controlled. It seems that he is in a miserable situation. If he didn't have some connections to pull these two pill shops together, he would probably join the mining ranks. But meeting me is your good fortune. While I eat meat, I will also give you some meat soup, hehe!"
Three days later, the two medicine shops in Wutie City sold more medicine than usual. The booming business was expected, but Ling Tian did not increase the quantity a lot at once. He increased it slowly, allowing people to accept the increase in quantity unconsciously, which reduced a lot of shock.
Ling Tian did not interfere with any of the operations of Wutie City. Apart from the profits from the medicine shop, he did not touch anything else to avoid trouble.
That day he left Wutie City and came to a large Wutie mine within its core area. According to Liu Shengxin, this mine has been mined for tens of thousands of years, but only a small part of it has been developed. According to the reserves, it will take hundreds of millions of years to mine it all. It is really shocking.
Ling Tian came here not to mine, of course, but because he had received news that a mineral-eating beast had appeared here a few days ago. He came here to try his luck. If he could catch one, he would be rich. As long as he could successfully evolve it into a gold-dividing beast, the metal it could divide out that day would be equivalent to the output of a thousand miners.
This is a considerable profit. Combined with Liu Shengxin's power as the lord of the city, it would be easy to sell these metals.
They went deeper and deeper until they came to a place where a lot of minerals were gathered. Ling Tian took out a lot of star minerals and Gengjin and put them here as bait. Xiaodie used an illusion to eliminate all traces. Everything was ready, waiting for them to fall into the trap.
