The Agricultural District
As long as the prices at this general store remain stable, other stores cannot arbitrarily raise their prices.
This general store is also managed by the disciples of Azure Cloud Peak. After deducting the cost of refining, the sect only takes 10% of the profit and does not interfere with its management and operation.
Apart from this small general store, Lingxian Sect can be said to completely avoid involvement in Commercial No. 1 Street, leaving this area entirely untouched.
However, in another area, they practically monopolized the market.
That's an agricultural area.
Besides the commercial area, Xiushui City also has an agricultural area, and the two are not far apart.
The agricultural area also officially opened today.
Before leaving, the leaders of each faction took a few more glances over.
Those few glances were enough to stun them.
This really is a place that sells all kinds of agricultural products!
It turns out that the proportion of agricultural products in the auction was indeed very restrained by the Lingxian Sect.
In the agricultural area, three streets have already been opened. On the first street, all ten shops and twenty stalls are neatly set up and open for business. Although the following two streets do not have as many shops and stalls as the first street, the number is still considerable.
The items sold at each shop and stall are completely different.
Most of the shops on No. 1 Street sell various Spirit Plant seeds, as well as all kinds of fruits, vegetables, and grains.
The stalls along this street sell mature Linggu rice and noodles, as well as fruits and vegetables.
The vegetables were crisp and fresh, and the fruits were fragrant and plump.
Of the twenty stalls, only one old man was leisurely reclining in a rattan chair, holding a small teacup steaming in one hand and a book in the other, seemingly studying it. The book's cover was printed with "Peach Blossom Spring Myriad Void Instruction," which looked like a mental cultivation manual.
The old man seemed to sense that he was being watched, and looked up from his books. Seeing the twenty or so people in front of his stall, he asked them:
"What do you want to buy? Pick whatever you like from the stall. I just picked them from the field this morning, they're so fresh!"
The old man waved his hand, and different semi-transparent numbers floated above each type of goods. "The prices are all on there. Just pick them out and put them in the basket over there."
He pointed to a stack of bamboo baskets piled on the stall, then ignored the people and continued studying his "Peach Blossom Spring Myriad Void Instruction".
My eldest grandson said he'd test my mental cultivation technique tonight, otherwise he wouldn't help me research the even more powerful fertilization Law Technique. I need to hurry up and review it properly.
The old man was so engrossed in his cultivation technique that he had no time to attend to his customers, who, in turn, had no intention of making any purchases.
Although those spiritual fruits and vegetables looked really delicious and full of Spiritual Qi.
But they're afraid of spending Spirit Stone.
We've already bought quite a few things at this auction, but the sect will need to spend a lot of money to buy raw materials before they can start manufacturing the goods.
Their sect doesn't have much raw material in stock, and it's definitely too late to find it in time. They can only buy from the Lingxian Sect and other sects that haven't come to Xiushui City.
Furthermore, since we'll be opening our own shop later, we'll definitely need to prepare some inventory and funds for it. In short, there are many places where we'll need to spend Spirit Stone, so we should save where we can.
However, the cucumber looked so fresh and juicy, and the spirit rice was so plump and delicious, its various fragrant aromas making them very hungry.
Fortunately, they were all cultivators at the Golden Core Nascent Soul, so they had some composure. They hurriedly left No. 1 Street of the agricultural district and turned towards Street 2.
Unlike First Street, No. 1 Street features shops that offer custom-made agricultural tools.
The difference between these shops lies in the materials and grades they use.
The main materials used in each shop, as well as the grades of farm tools that can be crafted, are clearly marked on the signboard at the entrance.
They have everything from spiritual farming tools that Qi Refining cultivators can use to those suitable for Nascent Soul Cultivator.
If customers have any requirements, they can make a request to the store for customization.
The stalls on the street sell ready-made goods, which all have the same appearance and function and no special features.
At first glance, this street didn't seem as appealing to the people in charge as No. 1 Street, but upon closer inspection, they discovered that this street was even more outrageous!
Why? Because many of the farm tools sold here are of a much higher grade than the Law Artifact they use themselves!
Heaven knows that many of them, Nascent Soul Cultivator, are still using third-grade magic Law Artifact from the Golden Core stage, while some Golden Core cultivators are even using second-grade Law Artifact suitable for Foundation Establishment cultivators!
Not to mention the kind of customization where one can create a magical artifact with various functions and effects that perfectly match one's own Spirit Root attributes. It's already quite good if a magical Law Artifact can bear the Spiritual Power of one's cultivation level for use in attacks.
But now they see that in the agricultural area of Xiushui City, farm tools can be distinguished by their quality based on the user's cultivation level, and can even be customized according to various customer requirements.
They couldn't believe that Lingxian Sect had such strength, but the stall next door had a bunch of farm tools that they could easily sense with their Divine Sense that were at least third or fourth grade Law Artifact artifacts!
Being able to casually produce so many high-grade farming tools outside the sect—magical artifacts they really didn't want to call farming Law Artifact —meant that customizing a Law Artifact according to different requirements wouldn't be too difficult.
This Second Street has once again overturned everyone's understanding of the Lingxian Sect.
As for the third street...
Although no one wanted to go over there, afraid they wouldn't be able to hold back, their legs still betrayed them and they started walking.
A group of powerful figures at the Golden Core Nascent Soul quickly arrived at Third Street.
Fortunately, the things sold on this street weren't beyond their comprehension... probably.
Lingfei, um, I know, I recognize, I've met.
Spirit Fertilizer Number One, Spirit Fertilizer Number Two, Spirit Fertilizer Number Three... What are these? Why are there different numbers for spirit fertilizers?
The group walked over and discovered that different signs were lit up next to the different spirit fertilizers, indicating which Spirit Plant and types of soil each fertilizer was suitable for.
"Hehe... it seems the Lingxian Sect has a lot of experience in farming..." someone couldn't help but remark.
Further inside, they even sold various insect-repelling array plates.
"This family's passion for farming is unparalleled in my life," someone else remarked.
Further in, good heavens, there were even pills for feeding the fields and Spirit Plant?!
"The Lingxian Sect really knows how to cultivate this land meticulously..." someone else remarked.
Walking to the end of the street, I discovered that they were selling all sorts of insects, with a sign next to each type explaining what benefits they could bring to which spiritual fields.
There is even a kind of spirit insect that can benefit the fields from birth. The Spiritual Qi it breathes can nourish the spiritual fields. Its favorite thing is to pollinate crops. Its food consists of the decaying parts of Spirit Plant and many pests in the spiritual fields. Its excrement is also excellent spiritual fertilizer. Even its body can fertilize the fields after it dies. It is simply a chosen spirit field worker insect!
