Cultivators Throwing Themselves into Their Arms
This person was none other than Su Wanjun, a fellow Daoist from the Heavenly Profound Sect of the Southern Spirit Domain, one of the ten members of their Immortal Cultivation Realm group. He was a Nascent Soul Early Stage stage cultivator.
Elder Yao, please save me!
Yao Yuchang:...
Didn't Fellow Daoist Su see that he was being dragged around in a cage, looking exactly like a prisoner?
He even wanted to save him; Yao Yuchang hoped someone would come and rescue him.
Yao Yuchang glanced at Su Wanjun but ignored him.
Su Wanjun seemed to only then realize that Elder Yao had been dragged in while locked up, and finally shut his mouth in disappointment, watching Yao Yuchang taken away.
As Yao Yuchang passed by Su Wanjun, he was surprised to find that there was someone locked up in the second room as well. Moreover, he recognized the person as Luo Qiuzhi, the fifth elder of the Law Enforcement Hall of the Myriad Phenomena Gate in the Northern Spiritual Domain, who was in the Nascent Soul Middle Stage North Spirit Domain.
The third room Fellow Daoist Hong of the Cloud-Gazing Sect in the Chongxiao Domain.
The fourth room Fellow Daoist Hua of the Earth Profound Gate the Southern Spirit Domain;
The fifth room belongs to Fellow Daoist Xu of the Earth Sha Gate in the North Spirit Domain;
The sixth room Fellow Daoist Liu of the Rainbow Abyss Sect in the Southern Spirit Domain;
Upon seeing the still very familiar face in the eighth room, Yao Yuchang closed his eyes in despair.
Of the ten people from the Immortal Cultivation Realm, all but the traitor He Yi had been captured.
This is really... If only they had just pretended they hadn't heard of Xiushui City or Lingxian Sect and hadn't asked any questions. After all, what do they care about any changes in the Mortal Realm? They could have just focused on investigating their own matter of the Execution Stone.
That's bad; they've all been caught in one fell swoop.
Yao Yuchang felt remorseful for being thrown into the ninth room by Liao Pantu.
Once locked inside, he immediately used spatial Law Technique to try and tear open a spatial rift, but this time he couldn't even make a small opening. It seemed that even spatial Law Technique was disabled in this place!
Seeing this, Yao Yuchang had no choice but to give up the attempt.
If even spatial Law Technique can be disabled here, then other methods are certainly useless. There's also no Spiritual Qi here, so he has to be careful.
Having only recently left the Spiritless Land, he had clearly already developed a good habit of thrift.
Yao Yuchang wasn't too worried about his life being in danger. After all, given their backgrounds and identities, as long as Myriad Connections didn't want to immediately attract the attention of the sect behind them, he wouldn't touch them.
But staying in such a Spiritual Qi cell for too long wasn't a good idea. Yao Yuchang and quietly pondered his next move.
After Liao Pantu locked him up, he left the Cage Compound and found Yuan Jinsheng to assign him his next task.
There are already enough cultivators clearing land and cultivating it, so there's no shortage of these ten high-level cultivators, including Venerable Guijia. In that case, it would be better to let them do some other work, otherwise it would be a waste to leave these strong laborers idle.
So Liao Pantu asked Yuan Jinsheng to arrange for them to do production work.
Things like alchemy, array engraving, and weapon crafting.
Only a few of these people possess specialized skills; otherwise, they would all be working in the sect's Four Arts Hall, so why would they be dispatched to investigate?
But they are cultivators from the Immortal Cultivation Realm, so they are more knowledgeable and have come into contact with far more information about the four arts of cultivation than cultivators from the Mortal Realm. So it would be quite good for them to refine things.
While we can't expect them to produce high-level pills or formations, their Spiritual Power is strong enough to mass-produce low-level items.
Of course, you have to give something in return for getting someone to do something. What Xiushui City can give them is to open the Spiritual Qi in their rooms at regular intervals, plus a share of the Spirit Stone corresponding to the amount of goods they produce.
This commission is definitely not as high as that of the disciples and members of the Lingxian Sect themselves; it's only one-tenth of theirs.
After all, a prisoner should be treated like a prisoner.
Because of the He Yi, these nine cultivators who threw themselves at them did not add much workload to the Lingxian Sect.
It didn't cause any ripples in Xiushui City; instead, it provided more material for stories to be told in the city's teahouses.
With the successful completion of the first transaction between various sects and royal families at the Xiushui City Trade Affairs Center, all the shops on Number One Street in the city's commercial district opened smoothly.
The shops in the commercial district made great efforts to promote and decorate for their openings. They even spent some money to hire a lion dance troupe from the common people in the city to warm up their openings.
The most festive element was the setting off of firecrackers, with strings and strings of them going off, their crackling sounds echoing throughout Xiushui City.
Fortunately, this is Xiushui City. If this were done in an ordinary town, it would be unbearable. The old houses would at least have a layer of plaster shaken off.
This lively scene attracted not only cultivators but also many ordinary people who stopped to watch.
Although they knew absolutely nothing about these cultivation practices, that didn't stop them from watching the spectacle and finding it fascinating! Where else had they ever had the chance to see such things before?
Not to mention that some mortals even possess Spirit Stone.
Many cultivators who had traveled from afar were overjoyed to see this well-organized commercial street.
They visited each shop and discovered that each shop sold different main products.
These shops are broadly categorized; some sell only elixirs, some only formations, some only magical Law Artifact, and some only talismans.
However, even within shops that fall under the same major category, there are many differences. For example, among the four shops selling pills, one mainly sells recovery pills, another mainly sells offensive pills, and two are even more extreme: one sells life-saving pills and poison pills, while the other sells functional pills.
The same applies to other shops.
This made the Mortal Realm cultivators feel very novel and gave them a strong desire to stroll around and browse.
Moreover, they discovered that these shops not only had a wide variety of products, but also seemed to be quite numerous. Many low-level cultivators had already seen many high-level cultivators spending Spirit Stone to buy things, but the goods on the shelves were quickly replenished, and there was never a time when they were sold out!
This was undoubtedly good news for them.
If the shops on this commercial street can continue like this, wouldn't they, as Mortal Realm, have a stable place to purchase commonly used Cultivation Resources in the future?
With this in mind, whenever they saw something that truly appealed to them, they would take out Spirit Stone and buy some, as long as they weren't particularly short of money.
They hope that as long as there are customers, these shops can continue to operate for a long time.
Many people also discovered the Lingxian Sect General Store located at the end of Number One Street.
The items sold in this general store might not be of much interest to cultivators with higher cultivation levels and more money, but for most low-level cultivators, especially Rogue Cultivator, it's practically a dream store!
