At this time, the Huanyu Market was full of vitality, and the whole street was filled with the sounds of renovation and hammering.
Baibao Pavilion, Yueying Palace, Wanmiao Pavilion, and Tianjian Sect all sent their disciples to come and tidy up the decoration and start setting up their own shops.
At the same time, some other cultivation families and Qi-refining cultivators who had received the news gathered intelligence in Taichang Market and Qifeng Town, and they also rushed here in advance to find out what was going on.
Many cultivators are stuck in the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining Stage. They want to go further, but they simply cannot find an opportunity to break through.
Not to mention independent cultivators, even cultivators from cultivation families and small and medium-sized sects would be stuck with the issue of the foundation-building pill.
When resources are limited, foundation-building pills are usually only distributed to those with the best qualifications or the strongest connections.
If most cultivators want to build a foundation, they can only save money to buy foundation-building pills, and they also need to be lucky enough.
If you are lucky, there will be enough Foundation Establishment Pills offered at an auction and the competition will be relatively small, so you may be able to buy them at a normal price.
If you are unlucky, you can only watch the price rise all the way to 100,000 low-grade spirit stones.
The cultivation families also don’t have surplus food. They may have ancestors in the Jindan or even Yuanying stage, but they still have to compete with other independent cultivators in the auction.
The two foundation-building pills brought out by the Universal Market this time are extremely attractive to the Qi Refining cultivators. Many of them feel that they will not be very competitive in such a new market, so they risk their lives to come and find out.
Xie Enming is not a casual cultivator, he is a member of the Guangyuan Prefecture's cultivation family. When he is not working in the family, he likes to run around.
On the one hand, they gather intelligence, and on the other hand, they strive to make more money through adventures.
Originally, he wanted to go to the Shiwan Mountains to see if he could kill some valuable monsters and pick some spiritual herbs.
The Xie family is just a small family. The one with the highest cultivation level is his grandfather, who is in the late stage of foundation building.
Currently, the family has only three cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage, but there are more than twenty cultivators in the late Qi Refining stage, so the Foundation Establishment Pills are simply not enough.
The family can only earn a few spirit stones every year, only a mulberry forest and spirit silkworms.
The entire family residence has thousands of people using a medium-grade spiritual vein, as well as countless spiritual fields, medicine gardens, and orchards. They are not allowed to condense the essence of the five elements.
Xie Enming knew that the family was raising funds to buy the Foundation Establishment Pill for his eldest brother Xie Enhua. His eldest brother had better qualifications and had already been designated as the next generation head of the family. Of course, the others had no choice but to accept it.
Acceptance does not mean resigning to fate, just like Xie Enming has been running around outside, trying to make a bright future for himself.
However, making money is so difficult!
Without the skills to make money, you can't make much money by killing monsters and ghosts.
Without a fixed residence, it is impossible to extract the essence of the five elements.
His father had worked hard all his life to save up 50,000 low-grade spirit stones, plus he himself had saved 30,000 over the years, so he wanted to seize the opportunity to buy a foundation-building pill.
I have to say, it is very smart of Tan Mengru to hand over the promotion work to the players.
These players have successfully developed the flyer and shouting tactics and attracted many potential customers.
"Is this Dongshan Village? The spiritual energy is even richer than our family's residence!"
Xie Enming was holding a printed flyer in his hand, which contained information about the auction items and the most important map information, to ensure that anyone who saw it could find the auction house smoothly.
Cultivation requires a large amount of spiritual energy, and the growth of plants and animals also requires spiritual energy. Unfortunately, the spiritual energy produced by the spiritual veins is limited every day, so one can only live frugally.
Xie Enming took a deep breath and felt refreshed.
He then stepped onto the flying sword and flew towards the market town along the neat and smooth road.
People often pass by on the ground, and there are quite a few monks flying in the sky. The lush forests of the Ten Thousand Mountains are not far away, and the location seems to be very advantageous.
In this area, only the market town has a no-fly zone, and free flying is allowed in other places.
The villagers of Dongshan Village were working in the fields. They were no longer surprised when they occasionally looked up to see the fairies flying by on swords. They had gotten used to it in the past two days.
Sometimes they would chat privately about which immortal had the most beautiful flying sword or flying magic weapon.
The demons and evil spirits that once troubled the villagers have been driven farther and farther away, and even if the gray fog falls at night, they will not come back.
Dead demons and monsters will leave behind a scent that only their own kind can smell. The area outside Dongshan Village is a forbidden area for demons. Anyone who gets close will die.
As a result, players have to run to the periphery if they want to kill monsters at night, otherwise they will get nothing.
In this way, abandoned land can be reused.
The villagers began to grow crops and silver arrow grass with their own hard-working hands. The crops were basically used to sustain their family's life, and the rest of the land was used to plant various crops.
There are even villagers who contract their land to players and become landlords themselves.
For the villagers of Dongshan Village, their lives have been greatly improved, as if they were living in heaven.
…
"Look, the notice for the Treasure Pavilion has come out. It will open tomorrow."
"That's nothing. The Moon Shadow Palace was renovating and sorting out their goods, and they started recruiting disciples right next door. As a result, a lot of people signed up."
"It seems that this little place is really extraordinary, otherwise why would Baibao Pavilion open a branch here."
"I don't know who the owner of the market is, he's really impressive."
"Hush. It's said that the owner of the Universal Market is a hidden power. His mount knocked the Moon Shadow Palace disciples away, but the Moon Shadow Palace didn't dare to say a word. If it were any other power, they would have been eliminated long ago."
"How could the Moon Shadow Palace be defeated here?"
"The auction items are in the middle of the venue, so you can go and see them directly. But if you want to attend the auction, you need to register and get a badge so that you can get a seat tomorrow."
"I just checked out the few shops that are open. The pills are so cheap, I couldn't resist buying a few bottles."
"Let's find a place to rest first."
"Hey, Old Man Yu, why are you here too? Why aren't you fishing in the Qing River? What are you doing here?"
"Of course, I'll do the same as you guys, to see if I can buy a Foundation Establishment Pill."
There are many cultivators who have reached the great perfection of the Qi Refining Stage, and among them there are even a few cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
They were very cautious and calm before finding out the details of the entire market. After all, in the world of cultivation, it is easy to die if you stand out.
The inn run by Lin Xiang was doing very well, and he even rented out several small courtyards on a short-term basis.
The inn’s prices are very low, and we use the lowest price.
Whether the guest stays for one day or ten days, it is one low-grade spirit stone.
For a small courtyard, the rent is ten low-grade spirit stones for ten days, and the price is the same if you only stay for one day.
In the future, when the market becomes more prosperous, the prices of inns and short-term rentals of courtyards will definitely increase. Now, Lin Xiang has earned more than 160 low-grade spirit stones.
"Sure enough, it's better to harvest the players' experience points first, exploit their labor, and then make money from these monks." Lin Xiang was very satisfied with this. His wallet was quite empty and needed to be filled.
The players have only been in the game world for a short time and cannot compete with these monks in terms of financial resources in a short time.
For example, in the medicine shop, all the pills that Lin Xiang made himself or got by chance were sold out because the prices were so cheap.
Fortunately, he bought a batch of cheap spiritual medicines from the market of Qingwei Sword Sect, and he would be able to start refining pills later.
The price of spiritual medicine in Qingwei Sword Sect is relatively low. Many sword cultivators are fond of swords and are unwilling to spend time and energy to learn alchemy. In addition, the sword cultivators are strong and it is easier for them to obtain spiritual medicine, so he can get some bargains.
This is the benefit of having a vest that can be transported anytime and anywhere.
He could dig out the mineral resources in his own dojo for his own use, and then sell them to the Qingwei Sword Sect. He could then take the cheap stuff from there and sell it here.
An ordinary low-grade magic weapon in Taichang Market requires about 250 low-grade spirit stones. Lin Xiang had previously purchased a bunch of them from the sect with only 100 spirit stones.
I don’t know which evil demons were eliminated by the sect’s sword practitioners.
In the Huanyu Market, the low-grade magic weapon displayed by Lin Xiang only cost 200 low-grade spirit stones, which naturally attracted attention.
The only business that may be doing poorly is the bookstore.
Because what is sold here are ordinary spells and techniques, which have no appeal to monks.
Lin Xiang didn't dare to casually reveal the special skills of Qingwei Sword Sect, as that would easily expose his identity and also arouse the vigilance of Qingwei Sword Sect.
Powerful and advanced spells and techniques are difficult to obtain. Even if you do obtain them, they are usually sold at auctions and rarely put up for public sale.
Lin Xiang knew that this bookstore would be closed sooner or later, and it was purely for the purpose of selling to players.
Seeing that more and more people were coming, and there were no guards to maintain order in the market, this emptiness had made many people uneasy and ready to take risks.
Lin Xiang was unwilling to see this situation. Since he had no way to recruit people for the time being, he could only post a task before the announcement of the Land Temple, recruiting players to serve as members of the patrol guard team to specifically maintain the safety of the market town.
At the same time, he called out the Black Dragon, who was concentrating on condensing the essence of water at the bottom of Longxi River. It turned into its complete form and flew over the market, showing its aura without reservation.
A huge black dragon was flying and wandering in the air above the market town, its beard and mane dancing in the wind, looking extremely majestic.
Immediately afterwards, a majestic voice sounded in the ears of every monk.
"Welcome everyone to the Huanyu Market. I am the owner of this market. I hope everyone can peacefully enjoy the various services provided by the market. All forms of fighting are prohibited in the market. There are gods above us. Don't think that you can avoid being discovered if you act secretly. Anyone who violates this will be suppressed in the land temple!"
Lin Xiang had to warn them personally that the player guard team was just a formality, so that they could see that this place was not without people maintaining law and order.
The one who was really going to take action was the Black Dragon. After flying a circle in the air in a deterrent manner, it dived into the pond dug behind the land temple in the market town.
From there, it's very close to wherever you go.
Lin Xiang used precise voice transmission to publicize his rules and give a warning first. If there are monks who go against the rules, then sorry, he needs someone to make an example of them!
The huge aura of the monster in the Tribulation Period made it almost difficult for the monks and mortals to breathe. This huge suppression between the levels really made the monks alert, but at the same time particularly at ease.
A cultivator who has such a powerful dragon as a mount must be an ancestor-level figure!
As long as you don't do anything bad, you don't have to worry about anything. This deterrent is obviously aimed at people with bad intentions.
"This monster is really strong. Its aura is even stronger than our ancestor's. I really don't know what level it is."
"The dragon... The owner of the market can actually tame a dragon!"
"No wonder the Baibao Pavilion and Yueying Palace are coming here. With such a strong person protecting us, the safety of the market is guaranteed."
"I was originally worried that the Foundation Establishment Pill would be snatched away after I bought it, so I decided to just rent a yard in the market and take it. It's safest to swallow it."
"Did you just hear that?"
"It is said that the owner of the market is a sacrificial spirit. How powerful must this sacrificial spirit be to be able to perfectly control the sound transmission into each of our ears."
"The water here is really deep, everyone remember not to cause trouble."
"Is there anyone who wants to give it a try? Help us assess the strength of the sacrificial spirit."
"You go ahead."
The originally impetuous cultivators became much more obedient after seeing the Black Dragon and receiving the message.
