70: Li Ziyu's business acumen

Puppets are treasures that all li family cultivators wish to possess. Li Haotian has a Nascent Soul Stage puppet, Li Xiantian has a Nascent Soul Stage puppet, and Li Ziqing has a Mid-Nascent Soul stage puppet, which Li Haotian later upgraded.

Fifty years time, it wasn't that no one coveted the Tianmen Island as a piece of fat meat, and even Mid-Nascent Soul stage cultivators were dispatched.

At that time, Li Xiantian had not yet left the Heaven's Gate Archipelago. When the Mid-Nascent Soul stage cultivator arrived, Li Xiantian directly used the Nascent Soul Stage puppet to drive them away.

Not long after, a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator came again, and the result was predictable. Li Haotian's Nascent Soul Stage puppet was not to be trifled with, and it fought back again.

From then on, the li family cultivators began collecting puppets, and some even became puppeteers.

If Li Haotian knew about this, who knows what his expression would be, but if the li family could have more deity transformation puppets, that would be perfect.

Li Ziyu smiled and said, "At that time, I will give my sister a golden core puppet."

Li Ziwu said in surprise, "Thank you, Zi Yu sister."

Although she had been staying within the li family, managing the li family's secret realm, if the li family had trouble, she would rush forward without hesitation.

Li Ziyu smiled and said, "We are sisters, there's no need for this. I'm going to the Spirit Stone Alliance first. There have been some changes regarding the matters east of the Wuya Sword Sect, and I need to handle them."

Li Ziwu nodded and watched Li Ziyu leave, muttering with some envy, "Zi Yu sister is really amazing."

...

After taking down the Heaven's Gate Archipelago and the surrounding nine small archipelagos, the li family's development also reached its peak.

If they wanted to expand outwards, they would either have to enter someone else's territory or head towards the Nine Dragon Peninsula.

The Nine Dragon Peninsula has Nascent Soul Stage experts and is a member of the Righteous Path Alliance. Trying to carve up their interests is impossible.

Excluding the few small archipelagos around the Heaven's Gate Archipelago, there are also several large archipelagos, all of which are powerful forces with nascent soul cultivators.

These forces tightly surround the Heaven's Gate Archipelago. If the li family wants to continue expanding, they must take down these forces.

The li family's current strength is not enough to take them down. They can only use puppets to contend with them and preserve their current territory.

Besides this, there is also the Heavenly Devil Archipelago. The Heavenly Devil Archipelago has been occupied by tian mo sect experts again, still led by Golden Core Peak demon cultivators.

However, to prevent the Heaven's Gate Archipelago from attacking, this time no less than fifty golden core cultivators came to the Heavenly Devil Archipelago.

Such strength is already comparable to Tianmen Island, and they are not afraid of the Heaven's Gate Archipelago attacking.

As for the tian mo sect and the Righteous Path Alliance reconciling, the grievances of so many years cannot be resolved in a short time.

At least for now, the two major forces have not let go of their grievances, but under the temptation of the tian mo sect's massive interests, the higher-ups of the Righteous Path Alliance have shown signs of wavering.

The Wuya Sword Sect and the other three major forces were also paying attention to the tian mo sect and the Righteous Path Alliance. After learning that the two sides showed signs of uniting, they also united.

At the same time, the three major forces issued an order to be ready for defense at any time, prepared for the attack from the tian mo sect and the Righteous Path Alliance.

The li family of the Heaven's Gate Archipelago and Tianmen Island were naturally included, but for now, they could only prepare early.

After the three super forces issued their orders, the entire South Sea Cultivation World became calm, and no force dared to launch a major attack on another force.

If they were to attack at this time, they would likely have to face the combined siege of the three major forces.

Therefore, the li family gained a good opportunity for development. The Spirit Stone Alliance and the Luoxia Merchant Guild united and spread out in all directions.

Not only north of the Wuya Sword Sect, but even in the large and small markets of the Nine Dragon Peninsula, there were traces of the two major forces.

The Fallen Clouds treasure pavilion of the Luoxia Merchant Guild was stationed in every large market, and the spirit building of the Spirit Stone Alliance occupied the medium and small markets. With the cooperation of the two, they earned a lot.

At this time, in the Spirit Stone Alliance, Li Ziyu asked in a deep voice, "What exactly is going on? Which family is so bold as to dare to prevent my Spirit Stone Alliance from entering the market?"

"How is the Luoxia Merchant Guild doing? Have they entered the large markets in the eastern part of the Wuya Sword Sect?"

The ten Foundation Establishment Peak managers quickly said, "Alliance master, the Luoxia Merchant Guild has already entered. Because they sell different resources, the resources we sell are too common, which will harm the interests of many forces, so they won't let us enter."

Li Ziyu nodded slightly and said, "Are those who are stopping you all small forces? What is the reaction of those large forces?"

A Foundation Establishment Peak female cultivator quickly said, "Alliance master, the large forces don't care about these small resources. It's the small forces that have united to resist our Spirit Stone Alliance."

Li Ziyu asked, "Do they dare to act within the market?"

"No, they have an agreement with the market managers, not allowing the Spirit Stone Alliance to purchase shops within the market, and not allowing our resources to be sold in the market."

"Oh? Is that so? Is the situation on your side the same?"

"Yes, Alliance master, we have no choice. That's their territory. We can't act, so we can only withdraw."

"Since that's the case, let's pull the rug out from under them. We'll just sell outside the market then. All kinds of resources, give me a twenty percent price reduction."

"At the same time, find those shop owners who can't keep their businesses open, discuss with them, and let them fully represent our resources, taking goods from us at seventy percent of the market price."

These resources themselves have a large profit margin. Even if they are sold at seventy percent of the price, they can still earn a profit of over two hundred percent, which is not a big deal for the Spirit Stone Alliance.

But such representation has great benefits. As long as there are a few representatives, other shops that cannot stay open will also seek out the Spirit Stone Alliance and get goods from the Spirit Stone Alliance.

Even if they sell at ninety percent of the market price, they can still earn a net profit of twenty percent, and there will be many people rushing to get goods.

Li Ziyu instantly transformed the Spirit Stone Alliance into a type of wholesaler. The most crucial thing is that the Spirit Stone Alliance possesses all the small forces or rogue alchemists and artifact refiners in the Heaven's Gate Archipelago and the nine small archipelagos, so there is no fear of not having enough resources.

The ten Foundation Establishment Peak managers looked at Li Ziyu in surprise. Selling outside the market wasn't that good, after all, the entire island belonged to their territory, and they didn't need any reason to drive them away.

But the second point was brilliant. As long as these resources could earn half the profit, the Spirit Stone Alliance was already very satisfied. What's more, this way they could both sell in volume and gain a large amount of profit, saving them a lot of trouble.

"Alliance master, leave this matter to us. We happen to know many such cultivators."

"As expected of the Alliance master, to be able to come up with such a brilliant method, it will definitely succeed."

"Needless to say, if it succeeds in the future, those merchant guilds or shop owners will come looking for us, and we can take the opportunity to insert our own people."

The Spirit Stone Alliance is not just a shop, it is also an intelligence organization, collecting a large amount of intelligence for the li family.

Li Ziyu smiled and said, "How about this, whoever can sell more resources, this Alliance master will give him a Core Formation Pill."

"If none of you can do it well, then go to the punishment hall to receive your punishment."

The ten managers exchanged glances, quickly bowed, and said, "Yes, Alliance master."

At this time, their emotions were high because they had the opportunity to obtain a Core Formation Pill, and thus the opportunity to break through to the Golden Core Stage.

There was also a reason why Li Ziyu took out Core Formation Pills. Over the years, because the li family had alchemists and the Spirit Stone Alliance and Luoxia Merchant Guild collected resources, they had accumulated quite a few Core Formation Pills, almost a hundred by now.

With so many Core Formation Pills, giving one away as a reward was insignificant, especially since she had purchased them with spiritual stones.
