At the Immortal Herb Palace, Shi Yue, Qu Zhiyang, Song Qingyang, Mu Yaoyao, Ning Wuque, and Jiang Dong were discussing the shop rents.
The market town had been named Immortal Grass Market Town. Besides the shops belonging to the six factions, there were still 3,725 shops available. Each shop was a different size and had different furnishings, so naturally, their rents varied.
On this point, they all agreed: the rents had to be high—the higher, the better. With the Immortal Herb Palace's reputation, people would rent the shops as long as the prices weren't too outrageous.
Besides the rents, there was also the venue and date for the auction, how many items would be auctioned, and, most importantly, who would host it.
