11: Xinyu Jiafang Market, Wang Family Spy
One must know that this was a Grade 1 High Grade Spiritual Vein; the density of the Spiritual Qi within was by no means comparable to the current Yu Family market!
Yet the Yu Family intended to use it as the Foundation for the New Yu Family Market!
Were they not afraid that someone would covet this place?
In the past, the Yu Family Territory was protected by a Formation, and with several Qi Refining Great Perfection Cultivators stationed there, even a Foundation Establishment Cultivator would find it difficult to take down the Yu Family Territory in a short time.
And that time would be enough for the Yu Family to seek help and request a Foundation Establishment powerhouse from the Immortal Music Sect to take action.
Furthermore, a Grade 1 High Grade Spiritual Vein was not considered a rare item for a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, so there was no need to go to such lengths for it.
But while this place was a chicken rib to a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, it was a heavenly paradise for ordinary Qi Refining Cultivators!
In the past, it was difficult for them even if they wanted to enter the Yu Family Territory; otherwise, how could they have sat idly by while the Yu Family occupied this Spiritual Vein?
Even some small families of Loose Cultivators had long wanted to replace the Yu Family.
It was just that they lacked the ability, and the Yu Family would not give them the chance to approach the ancestral lands.
But now, the Yu Family Elders and others were saying they would build a large-scale cultivation market here!
Upon hearing this, a strange look flashed in the eyes of many Loose Cultivators.
But they immediately recalled that terrifying Sword Intent from just now and instantly withdrew any improper thoughts.
Was this a joke? The current Yu Family had a Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivator Old Ancestor presiding over them; their strength had already risen by several levels!
Even if there were those who didn't fear death, they wouldn't dare to provoke a Foundation Establishment Family!
But at the same time, they knew that the opportunity had come!
Now that the Yu Family wanted to expand the market, this place would be full of various opportunities in the future. Whether it was the influx of Cultivators or the increase in the value of traded items, as long as some people could seize the opportunity, they could soar to the sky.
Some clever people had already gone to find the Yu Family Elders, wanting to discuss whether they could purchase a shop in advance.
Even if that wasn't possible, they were also seeking to see if they could lease a well-located stall for a long time.
For example, the entrance to the new market.
Some Cultivators even rushed around, spreading this news.
Before long, everyone within a radius of thousands of miles knew that the Yu Family had produced a Foundation Establishment Old Ancestor!
And they were going to expand the market!
...Three months later, within the Yu Family Territory.
Su Yu had now settled into an Immortal Cave in a mountain range; this was the Immortal Cave the Yu Family had built for him.
It occupied the position with the densest Spiritual Qi on the Yu Family's Spiritual Vein.
At the same time, large-scale construction was underway in the Yu Family mountains. Cultivators skilled in Earth-element Cultivation Techniques cooperated with Yu Family Elders skilled in construction, and in only about three months,
The prototype of the Yu Family market was built.
This New Yu Family Market was massive in area and was built directly on top of the entire Grade 1 Spiritual Vein.
Furthermore, following Su Yu's suggestion, various regions were subdivided.
For example, at the foot of the mountain was the position for normal Loose Cultivators to set up stalls. Walking further in, there were various shops selling miraculous Spirit Pills, Talismans, Magical Artifacts, and other items.
Then, towards the mountainside, there were Immortal Caves opened by the Yu Family for rental.
Protective Formations were carved upon them, making it impossible for ordinary Cultivators to break in.
Moreover, there were Small Spirit Gathering Formations that could increase the density of Spiritual Qi by another level.
There were a total of one hundred and eight Immortal Caves, which was the limit that the Grade 1 High Grade Spiritual Vein could support.
Additionally, the prices of the Immortal Caves were charged according to four levels: Jia, Yi, Bing, and Ding.
There were eight Jia-level Immortal Caves, thirty Yi-level Immortal Caves, thirty Bing-level Immortal Caves, and forty Ding-level Immortal Caves.
The higher the level of the Immortal Cave, the denser the Spiritual Qi, and naturally, the more expensive the price.
A Jia-level Immortal Cave cost ten Spirit Stones a day with a minimum one-month lease; Yi-level was eight, Bing-level was five, and for Ding-level, it was two Spirit Stones.
Furthermore, a large number of Quiet Rooms were opened at the foot of the mountain. Although the Spiritual Qi was the same as the outside world, they were quiet.
One only needed one Spirit Stone to rent one for a month.
The Yu Family had opened a full thousand of these Quiet Rooms!
Now, everything was ready and only awaiting completion... In the night, a Flying Boat flew through the sky and came to a stop above the Yu Family Territory.
There were two figures in the Flying Boat, one being a handsome man with a face as fair as jade.
The other was a burly, strong man.
The two of them looked at the many Cultivators working in the Yu Family Territory, a hint of coldness flashing in their eyes.
“Fifth Uncle, this Yu Family is truly bold, actually building a large-scale market! They really don't take our Wang Family seriously!”
“Since the Yu Family dares to do this, they naturally have their confidence. It's said that the Yu Family also has a Foundation Establishment Old Ancestor, and he's even a Sword Cultivator!”
“A Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivator? Fifth Uncle, do you believe that? If it were truly a Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivator, how could he look upon the Yu Family? It's likely just a made-up title to put on a front!”
These two figures looked at the people in the Yu Family Territory with disdainful expressions. One of them believed that the Yu Family bringing up the name of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator was nothing more than using a powerful name to intimidate others.
The other person was not like the jade-faced handsome man, but regarding the matter of a Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivator, he also considered it to be unsubstantiated rumors.
In the Cultivation World, if one were to ask who was the strongest, Sword Cultivators would be the first choice!
Has one not heard the fame of 'one sword to break ten thousand Spells'!
A Sword Cultivator basically meant being able to overwhelm Cultivators of the same rank.
They were by no means comparable to ordinary Cultivators.
Therefore, it was difficult for them to believe that a Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivator would truly take an interest in the mere Yu Family!
That was why they followed the Family's orders and came to the Yu Family Territory in the Tingyun Mountain Range to investigate.
If the Yu Family truly had a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, the Wang Family could take a step back and not interfere with the Yu Family establishing a large-scale cultivation market.
If there was no Foundation Establishment Cultivator, then don't blame their Wang Family for being merciless.
After all, in a radius of thousands of miles, the only large-scale cultivation market was their Wang Family's. They relied on this market to make a fortune, so how could they tolerate someone coming to steal their food!
A mere Qi Refining Family actually dared to ignore the Wang Family and build a large-scale cultivation market without permission; they were simply seeking death!
Just as the two wanted to investigate further, they saw a figure as handsome as a banished immortal appear on the Flying Boat at some unknown time.
Quietly and without a sound, even these two had not noticed him.
“Fellow Daoist, the Yu Family truly has a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. I can prove it.”
An indifferent voice spoke from beside the two.
“Who!” The sudden voice scared the two so much that their hair stood on end. They turned around as if facing a great enemy, but they couldn't even see a shadow.
“Me.” A voice spoke again from behind them.
At this time, the two didn't care about anything else and directly circulated their Dharmic power, activating Spells to blast behind them.
But, in the next instant, the two were directly stunned on the spot!
A Foundation Establishment Cultivator's pressure weighed down on them like a mountain.
The two's Spells vanished like smoke, and they were even suppressed by this pressure until they were prostrate on the ground!
“A Foundation Establishment Cultivator!”
“Senior, quickly withdraw your Divine Ability!”
Both were at the Qi Refining Great Perfection stage, but before Su Yu, they were like ants, completely unable to resist.
They had no choice but to beg for mercy.
