522: Two routes, business strategy

Due to these changes, the flying speed and distance of the immortal cloud boat would naturally also see some alterations.

“It’s so big, like an aerial fortress. It truly exudes an extraordinary Aura,” Grandpa exclaimed excitedly, looking at the massive immortal cloud boat.

He then eagerly flew above the immortal cloud boat, activated its core, and watched as the immortal cloud boat slowly ascended, hovering in the sky.

The attack Formation on this immortal cloud boat was still the Thousand Swords Exterminating Evil Formation, only with some modifications. As long as there were enough Flying Swords for the Formation, its power would be even greater.

The defensive Formation was called the Tianyuan Formation, a Tier 3 High Grade defensive Formation. Even without a Formation artifact, its power still reached Tier 3 High Grade.

If it were activated with a Formation artifact, its power could even approach Tier 3 Peak.

With these two Formations, traveling outside would be safer. Even if others coveted it, they would have the means to protect themselves.

“Good, good! This immortal cloud boat alone can carry tens of thousands of Cultivators, or even more,” Li Pengcheng said excitedly as he descended from the immortal cloud boat.

Compared to the previous immortal cloud boat, this one had two additional layers due to its height. Combined with the already expanded space, it naturally could accommodate more Cultivators.

Moreover, like the feipeng boat, the uppermost layer was not just a single layer.

Above the immortal cloud boat’s deck, that layer was equivalent to three layers, one more than the feipeng boat. If truly counted, the immortal cloud boat had eight layers, while the feipeng boat only had five.

Half of the layer above the immortal cloud boat’s deck was also open, like the feipeng boat, while the other half was a massive space.

This large space was sufficient for hosting auctions or trade fairs, easily accommodating hundreds of people.

If it were more crowded, the number of people could be even higher.

In short, this immortal cloud boat had a huge capacity and could accommodate many Cultivators. It was perfectly suited for the Li Family’s business methods.

“With this immortal cloud boat, the Li Family’s income can significantly increase in the future,” Father Li Chengjun said with a smile.

After completing these tasks, Li Feixian waited in the Li Family for Cui Luan to advance to the Golden Core Stage. Then, he, his father, and his grandfather returned to Dongxuan Immortal City.

Before they left, the Li Family had, after Family discussions, given two sets of Core Formation spiritual objects to a Fei Generation Peak Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Li Family and a Tian Generation Cultivator of the Li Family.

Both were at Foundation Establishment Peak. The one from the Fei Generation had Three Spiritual Roots Aptitude and was considered to have the most solid Foundation among the few Cultivators in the Fei Generation of the Li Family.

The Tian Generation Cultivator, on the other hand, was a Two Spiritual Roots Cultivator whose cultivation speed was extremely fast.

These two were given the Core Formation spiritual objects because their Family contributions were relatively high, enough to cover most of the contribution required to exchange for the Core Formation spiritual objects from the Family.

The remaining small portion needed to be borrowed from the Family.

If placed in the outside world, the price of these two Core Formation spiritual objects could be 50% higher, and at some auctions, even double.

This was also an advantage for Family Cultivators; in terms of resources, they had many more opportunities to acquire them than Loose Cultivators, and at much lower prices.

The chances of these two advancing to Golden Core were relatively high. Even at their worst, at least one of them would definitely advance to the Golden Core Stage.

This trip to Dongxuan Immortal City would also see the Family begin to acquire a large amount of Materials, especially Tier 2 spiritual objects and Yao Beast Materials.

The operating route of the immortal cloud boat had been basically determined. By operating along this route and passing through several Golden Core powers, it would bring substantial profits to the Family.

“After the last auction, we have already agreed on the trading procedures with six Golden Core Families in the southern part of the Tianze Region.

When our immortal cloud boat arrives, they will issue a notice in advance, informing the surrounding Foundation Establishment Families. Once we reach there, we can directly begin trading.

It has also been agreed that neither side’s interests will be infringed upon, and there will be no commissions or similar things. However, they will have to pay a fee for using our immortal cloud boat.

If we only consider the sailing distance, it’s only a few hundred thousand li, which is not far. However, in between, some time needs to be spent on trading spiritual objects.

This process, even with local powers preparing in advance at each location, would still take several days, or even more than ten days.

Therefore, to visit all six of these Golden Core powers, we will need to spend at least half a year.

Compared to the previous route of the feipeng boat, it’s roughly three times longer,” the group discussed upcoming matters in their Immortal Cave in Dongxuan Immortal City.

“It’s fortunate that this trading method allows for quick sales of spiritual objects, otherwise, it would take even more time.

The feipeng boat’s route involved selling goods in several cities, which led to a lot of wasted time.

Just the sailing time for the feipeng boat, a round trip only took about twenty days,” Li Chengjun said.

“What about the other Golden Core Families in Jinguang Country? If possible, we could also cooperate and trade with them,” Li Feixian suggested, looking at the marked route on a map.

“We already have some cooperation with them, though not much. I don’t think it’s necessary, is it?” Li Pengcheng hesitated, staring at the Golden Core Families in Jinguang Country on the map.

Over a hundred years, the five counties of Jinguang Country naturally saw more than just the Li Family advance to a Golden Core Family. Several other Families also successfully produced Golden Core Stage Cultivators.

Although their strength was relatively weak, they were still Golden Core Families, a world apart from the previous Foundation Establishment Families.

“We only have relatively deep cooperation with the Foundation Establishment Families in Yunhu County. Other areas of Jinguang Country are much simpler.

The Family’s Tier 2 immortal cloud boat at most only reached Jinguang County. As for the more distant Hanguang County, our Family only visited there once every few years.

So, this is also a good time to establish connections with these Foundation Establishment Families,” Li Feixian suggested.

“This would be competing with the Golden Light Sect for resources, wouldn’t it…?” Li Chengjun said worriedly.

“No matter what, our relationship with the Golden Light Sect isn’t very strained. If such a situation arose, something bad might happen,” Li Pengcheng said, concerned.

“Grandpa, don’t worry. It’s just normal trade; the Golden Light Sect shouldn’t stop it.

Moreover, our Tier 3 spiritual objects are mainly traded with the Golden Light Sect, which can also stabilize their emotions,” Li Feixian reassured them.

After hearing Li Feixian’s words, both felt it was barely feasible. An additional Golden Core Family could potentially increase their income by tens of thousands of Spirit Stones, which was a huge benefit.

Li Feixian took out the Spirit Stones he had accumulated and handed them over to the Family, asking them to begin acquisitions.

At this time, the Family truly did not have many Spirit Stones left.
