Spirit Dike

This tortoise shell has been on the list of items that the Lingxian Sect Sect's Finance Hall purchases from the Immortal Cultivation Realm for the past three years, but three years have passed and there is still no news about it.

Both the Yuan Household patriarch and Senior Liao have said that this tortoise shell was shed by a super-large sea turtle Demon Beast from a place very far away from the South Spirit Domain and North Spirit Domain.

Because that sea area is very vast, sometimes the sea turtle Demon Beast would finish molting just as the tide came in, and it would be swept back into the sea.

Moreover, these sea turtle Demon Beast are very rare, so their molting is a once-in-a-millennium event, if not once every five hundred years, making them extremely precious.

Lin Xiao drew circles on the paper.

Otherwise, why not ask Senior Liao if he has any way to contact his old friend Yin Xuanzi?

I'm afraid Senior Liao won't agree.

So...

Lin Xiao recalled the appearance of the tortoise shell in his mind, and then opened the System Store.

Sure enough, the top item in the store was the turtle shell of that sea turtle Demon Beast, and it was marked with the word "[High Quality]" below it. You could also click on this mark to view the details.

Lin Xiao clicked on it and found that it read, "System product, guaranteed to be of the highest quality. This tortoise shell was molted by the deep-sea Demon Beast ' Spirit Dike '. This shell was selected from the molted shell of the most powerful Spirit Dike. Its space is huge, making it very suitable for weapon forging."

Upon seeing this, Lin Xiao understood; so this sea turtle Demon Beast was called Spirit Dike.

Judging from the product details, the items sold in the online store should be of the highest quality.

As expected of a system.

only...

He exited the details page and looked at the price marked below the tortoise shell.

100,000 Spirit Stone.

This price isn't cheap, but if they really wanted it, the Lingxian Sect could afford it if they gritted their teeth.

However, the sect doesn't have many Spirit Stone left. During the recent recruitment, the upgrade of the Heart-Questioning Road alone consumed most of their sect's Spirit Stone mine. Now is the time for recuperation, so it's obviously not advisable to mine it anymore, otherwise the Spirit Stone mine will be completely depleted.

Currently, the sect's various salaries and other expenses are basically supported by business dealings with the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

But this tortoise shell is also essential for the Trade Center.

If the sect wants to grow bigger and stronger and follow a path of sustainable development, this Trade Center must be established.

He is a crucial link connecting all the cultivators in the Mortal Realm.

If we rely solely on the royal family of the Pusi Kingdom to slowly leak information here and remind people there, it would take forever to revitalize the entire cultivator community in the Mortal Realm.

Since mining is hopeless, the only option is to continue using open source.

For their sect, the best way to increase revenue is naturally to extract Spirit Stone from the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

To Dali extracting spirit Spirit Stone, they need to expand the variety of goods, production volume, and sales channels of their sect.

Lin Xiao took out another clean piece of paper and wrote a few more notes on it.

He used the Lock Ring to contact Qin Jianghe and confirmed the types and approximate quantities of goods that the sect was currently selling. He found that they were still maintaining their usual conservative strategy in terms of the types of goods they sold, and those rarer or higher-quality items were not on the sales list at all.

The talismans and pills made for the three major sects were mostly for less common uses and not mainstream consumables. So, although they still earned Spirit Stone, the income from this aspect did not really reach the level of making a profit from small profits but quick turnover.

Ultimately, the problem lies in the low output of the three major sects.

Although each sect can earn a thousand or eight hundred Spirit Stone per month through this channel, it is already a considerable income for them, who originally had no income from Spirit Stone in this area.

However, this amount of profit was not enough for the Lingxian Sect.

After all, the monthly allowance for disciples in their sect is high.

Furthermore, they receive additional salaries for working in various departments of the sect, as well as rewards for various tasks, all of which require Spirit Stone stones.

Lin Xiao thought for a moment; they now had three options.

Firstly, it also provides the three major sects with the methods for making basic pills, talismans, Law Artifact, and array plates that are commonly used in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

These items are in high demand and sell very well, so their prices are naturally higher than those of more niche items.

The second option is to find more sects besides the three major sects to join the transaction.

However, as more and more sects join this deal, the royal family of the Pusi Kingdom may not be able to withstand it.

After all, for the three major sects in the Pusi Kingdom, the royal family is essential. They need a dynasty to help them govern mortals, provide them with a stable surrounding environment, and ensure a steady stream of disciples for their sects.

However, sects outside of the Pusi Kingdom might not take the Li Imperial Clan seriously.

Faced with enormous profits, it's fine if it's just one or two people, but the real danger is if multiple sects harbor malicious intentions and join forces to deal with the royal family of the Pusi Kingdom. In that case, even if the three major sects come to the rescue, it will probably be of no use.

Therefore, the best solution is for the Lingxian Sect to strengthen its own power and then step forward.

The problem came back to us like a boomerang.

Their sect's biggest problem right now is that they're not strong enough...

Lin Xiao sighed silently.

However, there always needs to be a breakthrough in these problems, otherwise it will be like going around in a dead end, and we can only slowly wait for the sect's Spirit Stone to accumulate little by little and for everyone's cultivation level to increase little by little.

Until then, it seems nothing can be moved.

Lin Xiao was clearly unwilling to do this.

Although the matter of the Execution Stone in the Immortal Cultivation Realm had been decided, He Yi was urged to cultivate quickly so that he could resolve it, there's always a chance of something going wrong.

Who knows if their sect will be exposed by then?

Therefore, it's best to prepare these things in advance if possible.

We should seize the time to acquire Spirit Stone and resources, as this will not only enhance the strength of our own sect but also the strength of all sects in the Mortal Realm.

As the saying goes, "the nail that sticks out gets hammered down," but if everyone's skill level collectively improves, and everyone becomes a nail that sticks out, how can the fight even begin?

Furthermore, if they can establish good relations with many sects in the Mortal Realm through the existence of the Trade Center, and even reach the level of 'supporters' mentioned in the task just released by the system, then anyone who wants to deal with their Lingxian Sect will have to think twice.

Therefore, the breakthrough lies in the successful establishment of the Trade Center!

Open source is inevitable, but we certainly can't approach too many foreign sects at once.

We need to first contact the Li Imperial Clan and ask them to recommend some trustworthy and reputable sects to increase the production of goods.

However, this open source approach won't allow us to earn a lot of Spirit Stone overnight, so if we want to start building the Trade Center as soon as possible, we need to find another way.

Lin Xiao thought for a moment, then used the Lock Ring to contact Yuan Bi, the head of the Yuan Household.
