Chronicles of Ascension: The Path to Immortality

"What about the subordinate forces of the second level?" Zhang Xuan asked.

"There are many subordinate forces of the second level, tens of thousands, and even many independent cultivators have come here. The number of people who have come to Wuyou City during this period has reached hundreds of thousands."

"Well, it's good. How is the Wuyou City market now?"

"The Wuyou City market is booming. Even Yingpingfang, which receives Qi-refining cultivators, has to limit the supply of spiritual materials."

"How many spiritual stones have been earned?"

"After deducting labor costs and other costs from the spiritual materials sold in the market, the profit earned during this period has reached 40 million spiritual stones."

"Ah? So much!" Even though Zhang Xuan was mentally prepared, he was shocked when he heard this number.

"This is only part of it. There are also profits from renting and selling shops."

"By the way, I forgot to ask, have these big forces established trade bases in my Wuyoufang City?"

"Beichen Dongtian bought a shop with dozens of floors in Jiulongfang as a trade base, but they hope we can give them a discount and repay the spirit stones in installments."

"You can agree. Beichen Dongtian is too famous. Once it establishes a trade base in Wuyou City, it will have a gathering effect and attract other affiliated forces to come."

"Well, I thought so too. I have given them a 40% discount. Now the contract documents have been signed."

"That's good."

"As soon as Beichen Dongtian settled in, other affiliated forces also flocked in and settled in one after another. Now the shops in Jiulongfang, Taihuafang, and Yingpingfang have been sold or rented, and there are no more idle shops."

"How many spirit stones did these rentals earn?"

"30 million spirit stones."

"Well, not bad."

There are tens of thousands of shops in the three markets.

Some shops are only rented out instead of bought out in one go, and the spiritual stones earned from renting and selling are already very considerable at 30 million.

"These spiritual stones will be immediately invested in the development and construction of other markets in Wuyou City." Zhang Xuan said immediately.

Wuyou City, especially the market, is designed on a grand scale.

At the beginning, it was because of the lack of spiritual stones that only an empty shell was built.

Originally, 72 market towns were planned to be built, but only 3 were built.

After all, building market towns consumes a lot of energy.

Each market town must be equipped with at least one large-scale third-order defense formation and one large-scale third-order spirit gathering formation.

The spiritual stones spent on these two third-order formations alone are a huge amount.

Zhang Xuan nodded and said, "I have already transferred these spiritual stones to the construction of other markets. At present, five markets have been built, namely Ruyi Market, Qinglian Market, Jiuding Market, Hualing Market and Changsheng Market."

"Okay, I am at ease with Uncle Sanqian's work."

"Some time ago, after Beichen Dongtian settled in Jiulong Market, all forces wanted to settle in Wuyou City, which made me very busy. All the shops in Jiulong Market, Taihua Market and Yingping Market were rented out. The affiliated forces that did not settle in the market complained everywhere and almost demolished my Wuyou City. Fortunately, five new markets were built, which finally alleviated the settlement needs of these forces."

"Well, not bad, not bad, my fairy cat valley is Wuyou The city has risen from here!"

"The nine markets that have been established now still cannot meet the demand. There are still thousands of forces that have not settled in, and they have many complaints about my Fairy Cat Valley."

"This is easy to do. You first collect the spirit stones they use to buy shops and sign the contract documents."

"But there are no shops in the market anymore."

"Won't there be new markets when new markets are built in the future? This is called-pre-sale housing."

"Pre-sale housing..."

Zhang Sanqian smacked the two words and suddenly gave Zhang Xuan a thumbs up: "The temple master is great, the temple master is really great, why didn't I think of it."

"First collect the spirit stones for building the market in advance, and then use these spirit stones to build the market, this It's called borrowing chickens to lay eggs."

"Borrowing chickens to lay eggs? It's really clever. By the way, there is something I want to tell the temple master."

"What is it?"

"There are many large forces in the closed area, hoping to establish a spiritual mine quenching and casting base in our Wuyou City."

"Then build it. As long as you can produce spiritual stones, these three thousand uncles can have full authority."

"But the spiritual mine quenching base they want to build occupies a very large area. One base is as big as a market."

"Ah?" Zhang Xuan was shocked. "What do they need such a large place for?"

"It is to transport the spiritual ore excavated from the veins and quench and cast it into weapons."

"Quench and cast it into weapons?" Zhang Xuan was stunned "Wouldn't it be more cost-effective for them to directly transport these spiritual minerals back to the sect, cast them into weapons, and then sell them in my Wuyou City market?"

"Yes, I thought so at the beginning. Now Wuyou City is so expensive that it costs a lot to build such a large base. It is not cost-effective for them at all. But later I learned about it carefully and found that it was not the case at all."

"Why? Uncle Sanqian, tell me in detail."

"For example, the Shenxiao Sect occupies a vein of Bi Shensha on the east side of the closed area, and Bi Shensha cannot be transported to the Shenxiao Sect."

"Put the Bi Shensha into the storage bag and directly locate and teleport it back to the Shenxiao Sect."

"If it is a small or medium-sized vein, it can be done this way, but the Bi Shen Sand Mine occupied by Shen Xiao Sect is a giant vein. The Bi Shen Sand excavated every day is comparable to a small mountain. There is no such a large storage ring for transportation. Moreover, when transporting, if there are too many things in the storage ring, it is very easy to cause the transmission space to be unstable, and it is not uncommon for people and goods to be lost."

"Well, that's true, but how did Shen Xiao Sect think of establishing a base for tempering and casting Bi Shen Sand in our Wuyou City?"

"For this giant vein, it is unrealistic to transport it through storage rings or storage bags. It can only rely on the most primitive transportation method."

"River transportation." Zhang Xuan blurted out directly.

"Yes, the Abyss Spirit River is only a few hundred miles away from the Green God Sand Mine. If they transport it directly to the Abyss Spirit River, the giant ship will carry the spiritual ore as big as a small mountain and go downstream. Even the driving spirit stone is saved. It only takes two years to reach Wuyou City, which is located on the abyss."

"In the closed area, only Wuyou City has such a large market. They can sell all the magic tools cast by their batch of Green God Sand, killing two birds with one stone."

"At the same time, the land price in Wuyou City will definitely be more expensive than it is now. They occupy such a large area in advance. Even if the spiritual ore is sold after mining, they can make a lot of spiritual stones. This is killing three birds with one stone."

After listening to Zhang Sanqian's words, Zhang Xuan finally understood the cause and effect.

"Uncle Sanqian, what do you think about this matter?"

"From the perspective of the land utilization effect of Wuyou City, building such a large base is indeed not as direct as the market, and it is inconsistent with our positioning of Wuyou City. I suggest rejecting it directly."

"No, I think it can be built."

"Why?" Zhang Sanqian asked puzzledly.
