A New Job for Spirit Ships

Just as the land reclamation team began their work, it was the first day of February this year.

The time has come for transactions between the Xiushui City Trade Center and various sects and royal families.

This is the first Lunar New Year's Day in Xiushui City, and the city is especially crowded on this day.

In recent days, a large number of visitors have begun to flock to Xiushui City.

These people, speaking in various accents, strolled around the different streets of Xiushui City with great interest.

They all came here after hearing news about the Lingxian Sect and the Xiushui City commercial district during this period.

After all, it had been a long time since a market with such a reputation for cultivators had appeared in the Mortal Realm. Cultivators with even a little savings couldn't resist setting off to come and have a look.

Because the sects and royal families that signed the transaction orders with Xiushui City mainly wanted to attract business for their family shops on Number One Street in the commercial district, the opening date they advertised was February 1st, which was the date of their transaction with Xiushui City.

If they receive full payment after delivering the order to Xiushui City on this day, they can then sell all of their sect's inventory resources.

That's right, they brought out all of their sect's royal reserves in advance this time.

They planned to open their shops after completing the transaction with the Xiushui City Trade Center. Many people had even taken their jade tokens to their shops to make preparations.

As for what to do with the sect's emptied warehouse? Of course, they'll use the received payments to purchase it from the Trade Affairs Center.

They had contacted the Trade Affairs Center in advance, informing them of the types and quantities of goods they planned to purchase next month.

All of these sects and royal families arrived on the same day.

It's not that they didn't want to come earlier, but that coming a day later would allow them to accomplish more.

Of course, they had prepared the goods quota agreed upon with Xiushui City several days in advance, and the extra work done later was to enrich their own inventory.

With more people, business became even more booming throughout the city, and many vendors were struggling to keep up with the demand.

Many more independent Rogue Cultivator across various countries and regions of the Mortal Realm have also brought their families along, arriving in Xiushui City on the spirit ships of the major sects.

Because the rumors about the Lingxian Sect and Xiushui City spread so rapidly and were so popular throughout January, many major sects from various countries that were not invited to the Lingxian Sect's annual meeting also planned to bring their disciples to visit and see the legendary Xiushui City and the legendary Lingxian Sect.

However, these major sects are good at business. After reserving some half-price tickets for their own disciples who want to go, they will also free up some seats to sell tickets to independent Rogue Cultivator who want to go together.

Some major sects in the Mortal Realm still have a few spirit ships, which makes doing business very easy. Although their spirit ships are not fast, they can travel day and night without getting tired like horses pulling carts and needing to eat, drink, and rest. Moreover, spirit ships fly in the air, which largely eliminates the obstacles of terrain and routes, thus saving a lot of time spent on the road.

Since many Rogue Cultivator have families to support, paying two Spirit Stone to buy a second-class cabin has become the choice for many Rogue Cultivator who are relatively well-off.

Don't underestimate these two Spirit Stone; they add up over time.

Spirit ships don't necessarily require Spirit Stone to operate; cultivators can also operate them. A sect only needs to send one or two Golden Core cultivators to take turns operating the spirit ship, and they can earn hundreds or even thousands of Spirit Stone per trip. This can be considered a big business.

As Xiushui City's reputation soared, the entire Mortal Realm seemed to become more lively, with everyone eagerly scheming and plotting their own schemes.

Although two Spirit Stone are a small amount for a sect, it is still a painful expense for a Rogue Cultivator to give them away.

The main reason they decided to move to Xiushui City, even though it was painful, was that they had heard there was a Spirit Transformation Stage cultivator there.

In their view, the fact that a Spirit Transformation Stage cultivator could emerge from there must mean it's an exceptionally good place for cultivation.

Otherwise, why has there been no Spirit Transformation in the Mortal Realm for so many years, but suddenly one has appeared out of nowhere?

That's Spirit Transformation cultivator!

They'd never even heard of it before, let alone seen it!

Of course, some people doubted the authenticity of this news, but seeing that the major sects were making various moves and had released the news early on that they would Spirit Opening ships to Xiushui City, how could it be false?

The information channels of Rogue Cultivator are far inferior to those of the major sects, so they usually rely entirely on observing the movements of the major sects to judge the situation.

The fact that these major sects are clearly paying close attention to Xiushui City and Lingxian Sect suggests that the Spirit Transformation Stage cultivator might actually exist.

Even if the news about the Spirit Transformation cultivator is false, the fact that the Xiushui City commercial district could attract the attention of these major sects is enough to make them a reason to settle there.

Any Rogue Cultivator who still has even a slight interest in cultivation would not want to miss this opportunity, as it is a rare chance for them to access various Cultivation Resources.

In the past, major sects produced and consumed their own resources, and it was difficult for Cultivation Resources to flow out. Even when they did trade, it was only occasionally with sects and royal families they knew well, and there was nothing for independent Rogue Cultivator.

As a result, the number of people who arrived in Xiushui City with the spirit ships of various sects in the past few days was truly enormous.

Fortunately, Xiushui City is big enough to accommodate this size.

It exhausted the staff of the city lord's mansion.

Because of the sudden surge in the number of people arriving, the staff of the City Lord's Mansion had to hold an emergency meeting and activate the contingency plans they had discussed beforehand.

The first issue concerns the resettlement of these people.

People who come from afar naturally won't just stay for a day; they'll definitely have to spend the night in the city. Although cultivators can wander around all night without sleeping without any problem, their families can't.

In addition, the royal families of various sects arrive with large entourages, and we need to arrange accommodations for them as well.

The inns operating in Xiushui City are far from sufficient to accommodate so many people.

Fortunately, this issue was taken into account when Xiushui City. The city area is large enough, so it naturally needs to have accommodation areas that match its size.

The northwest area of Xiushui City is a place specifically used by Xiushui City to receive visiting cultivators.

This area was specially designed by Lin Xiao according to the preference of cultivators to live in cave abode. As far as the eye can see, there are vast expanses of mountains, with various pavilions, terraces, waterside pavilions, and courtyards nestled on the mountain walls, and flowers, plants, and trees arranged in a pleasing and orderly manner.

The surrounding Isolation Formation array even had a special added effect of swirling clouds and mist.

It's clearly a perfect place for cultivating immortality, fulfilling the aspirations of cultivators.
