Lingxian Sect's General Store
In fact, there are advantages to hiring Rogue Cultivator, and everyone present was well aware of this.
However, this benefit is not significant for them, or rather, not worth changing their current situation for them.
Therefore, I don't really want to hire those Rogue Cultivator, and I would have to pay them wages.
Some people didn't quite agree with the suggestion, feeling that since they weren't from their own sect, wouldn't this be letting outsiders benefit?
These Rogue Cultivator previously had absolutely no access to resources.
However, she also knew that it wasn't appropriate to express these thoughts at this time.
However, Bai Yu, the sect leader of Luo Goddess Mountain, seemed to see through the thoughts of those present and said directly, "Lingxian Sect has channels that allow them to trade with the Immortal Cultivation Realm at low prices. They didn't keep these channels to themselves, but instead established Xiushui City, opened a commercial district, and summoned us sects and royal families to do business with us. This is Lingxian Sect giving us concessions."
"Then why can't we make concessions to the lower-level cultivators?" The gentle voice was like a fine needle, gently piercing into everyone's heart.
The sects and royal families invited to Xiushui City this time are all those with friendly relations with the Li Imperial Clan or those with a good reputation. Even those who don't quite agree with the idea in their hearts, after listening to Sect Master Bai Yu's words and weighing the options, feel that hiring Rogue Cultivator is not a bad idea.
In other words, the profit is smaller and the trouble is greater.
If these Rogue Cultivator discover any potential after acquiring resources, they could be brought under the wing of their own sects, which would be acceptable.
And so, with the Clear River Sect's suggestion and Luo Goddess Mountain's support, those cultivators who were initially not quite in favor of it soon convinced themselves.
None of them wanted to be the first to speak out in opposition, nor did they want to be left out.
After looking left and right, no one said anything more, and so the matter was settled.
In a corner office of the Trade Affairs Center, Qin Jianghe asked Han Weishu, "How is it? Has Sect Leader Han conveyed the message?"
Han Weishu nodded. "He said they've already made arrangements and will hire Rogue Cultivator to help later."
Because of Han Weishu's identity as the daughter of the Clear River Sect leader, Liu Yunan arranged for her to work in the Trade Affairs Center after consulting with her.
This would give her more opportunities to interact with her father and the Clear River Sect, and also facilitate deepening the relationship between the Lingxian Sect and the Clear River Sect.
"But Elder Liu, why do you insist that they hire Rogue Cultivator?" Han Weishu, somewhat puzzled.
"Hehe, you wouldn't believe it!" Liu Yunan glanced at her smugly and explained, "The Mortal Realm has been dormant for too long. The establishment of this entire commercial district in Xiushui City is a very important step in revitalizing the Mortal Realm."
"Only when the Mortal Realm is fully revitalized can our commercial district and our Xiushui City truly become the hub of the Mortal Realm! But if we want to fully revitalize the entire Mortal Realm, it's definitely not enough for us and the sects in the reception room to work on it little by little. We might just give up halfway because the timeframe is too long."
"Therefore, only when we extend this influence to the entire Mortal Realm as quickly as possible, and bring most of the cultivators in the Mortal Realm onto our path, will this path become a broad and prosperous road."
"Don't underestimate the power of Rogue Cultivator; their numbers are considerable, and if they can obtain sufficient Cultivation Resources, they can become a very large group."
After several years of training and experience, Liu Yunan no longer needs Lin Xiao to explain many things to him, and Lin Xiao no longer needs to make many decisions personally. He has learned to use the ideas he learned from Lin Xiao to view the development of various things.
Today, his sudden decision to have Han Weishu send a telepathic message to Sect Leader Han was his own.
Of course, he didn't make a decision on his own whim. He discussed it with Lin Xiao and Qin Jianghe beforehand, and they both thought the idea was good before he came to carry it out.

Although it was the first day of work, Li Zhouxuan was very efficient. In just one morning, he had already finalized a bunch of orders for shipping and receiving with all the sects.
The Trade Center also arranged for its disciples to take these sects and royal families to the No. 1 Street in the commercial district. After showing them the shops they had drawn, they handed over the shop jade tokens to them.
The shops here do not use traditional door locks; each shop is equipped with Isolation Formation, which can only be opened with the corresponding jade token.
"Each household has five of these jade tokens. Please keep them safe. If any are lost, damaged, or if you wish to obtain more, you will need to spend five Spirit Stone to exchange them at our center," the Lingxian Sect disciple who led the way told them.
Upon hearing this, each person in charge carefully put the five jade tokens in their hands into their Storage Bag.
Five Spirit Stone may not be much for them, but they are used to living frugally and are unwilling to waste even one Spirit Stone.
With everything settled, the people in charge did not linger in Xiushui City and hurried back to their respective sects or the imperial city.
As for the shops in the commercial area, they are not in a hurry to open.
After all, they have nothing right now, so what are they going to sell?
And there weren't many customers.
Although the Lingxian Sect now enjoys considerable fame within the Pusi Kingdom, the news of the establishment of this Xiushui City has attracted many mortals and cultivators to settle here.
However, the number of cultivators among them, as well as their financial resources, are far from sufficient. Furthermore, the Lingxian Sect's own shops have already opened, mainly selling agricultural products, but also some very basic items. However, these sects and royal families will inevitably have to offer their own products that Changsheng.
That's right, Lingxian Sect has also opened shops in the commercial district, and more than one.
Lingxian Sect opened a very small general store at the end of No. 1 Street.
A small, inconspicuous emblem of the Lingxian Sect was printed in the corner of the shop sign.
However, the items sold inside were not as luxurious as those supplied by the Lingxian Sect to the royal families of various sects. They were mostly basic items, such as common communication Sound Transmission Talisman, Gale Talisman, spirit swords, Pill Furnace, Rejuvenation Pill, and protective array plates, all of very ordinary quality and grade.
These are all handmade by disciples from the four major craft halls of the Lingxian Sect for practice. The quality is not high, so the price is naturally not high either. Moreover, because the disciples of the four major craft halls practice very hard, this general store has a large quantity of these items, making it very suitable for junior cultivators who are not well-off.
As long as other sects and royal families maintain the quality of their shops in the future, their operations will not be greatly affected.
On the contrary, the existence of this general store can control prices in the commercial area to a certain extent.
