Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1666: Chapter 1021: Stationing in True Yang Immortal City (Part 2)

She mumbled as the two returned to the Cloud Boat.

The Cloud Boat continued to fly, while the three senior sisters laughed at the prow.

Meanwhile, on the deck and in the watchtower of the Cloud Boat, hundreds of Qi Refinement Realm immortal cultivators were busily operating various facilities of the Cloud Boat, and Hong Fuxiu was controlling the boat’s array from the top floor of the watchtower.

This kind of large flying boat naturally couldn’t be handled by just a few people.

The Vermilion Bird Cloud Boat had over a hundred arrays of various sizes, with main arrays including the Floating Array, Fireworks Array, Protection Array, and Vermilion Bird Burning Heaven Array.

Although only one person is needed to control the core array, if you want this Cloud Boat to fly and fight, at least a hundred cultivators are required.

Fortunately, now that there are over a thousand cultivators in the Spirit Source Land, there are enough people to man the Cloud Boat.

The Cloud Boat continued forward, likely due to the intimidation from the previous battle, and they did not encounter anyone else with reckless intentions.

Soon, the Cloud Boat arrived above True Yang Immortal City.

Large flying boats naturally can’t enter an Immortal City and can only dock outside in the flying boat parking area.

Large flying boats are different from small ones; small flying boats generally have a Ruyi Array, allowing them to shrink to a few inches and be carried into the city.

But large flying boats are too big and difficult to shrink to a portable size, so they can only be parked outside the Immortal City and workshop area.

After parking the Vermilion Bird Cloud Boat in the flying boat parking area, Hong Fuxiu, Ning Yun, Li Janning, and Li Jian’an entered True Yang Immortal City together.

The architectural style of True Yang Immortal City is much rougher compared to White Cloud Immortal City, with many houses and pavilions mainly constructed of earth and stone, with very few elaborate and magnificent decorations.

This is because True Yang Immortal City was built rather hastily, with a large city completed in only two or three years without time for intricate craftsmanship.

However, as time goes by, True Yang Immortal City will also become a refined and beautiful Immortal City in the future.

Numerous immortal cultivation forces have settled here, and they will inevitably decorate or rebuild their residences and shops.

The city’s streets are bustling, and the shops on both sides of the road seem to be doing good business.

Hong Fuxiu and the others took a simple stroll around the street and also looked into several lively shops.

”Senior Hong, the talisman shops seem to be the most bustling!” Li Janning said, looking at the talisman shop not far away.

Hong Fuxiu nodded slightly, ”Wherever conflicts are intense, talisman shops are always the most popular.”

”Then let’s open a talisman shop here too!” Li Janning said with a smile.

”Magical tool shops are not bad either; there were many customers in the Hundred Tools Pavilion just now!” Li Jian’an added.

Hong Fuxiu laughed, ”Actually, the best business to do in True Yang Immortal City is magical tools and treasures recycling!”

”Ah, why?” Li Janning asked, puzzled.

”The more conflicts, the faster the turnover of magical tools and treasures. Many people will acquire tools and treasures they can’t use, and they won’t keep them, so they’ll sell them to magical tool shops!” Hong Fuxiu explained.

Li Janning thought for a moment and said, ”But we didn’t see anyone selling magical tools and treasures at the Hundred Tools Pavilion just now.”

”Running a magical tools and treasures recycling business requires confidentiality, so they won’t recycle on the first-floor counter; instead, they’ll negotiate in private rooms!” Hong Fuxiu said.

Li Janning suddenly understood, ”I see.”

”If we’re going to do business, our first choice should be the selling and recycling of magical tools and treasures, with talismans as the secondary choice!” Hong Fuxiu said.

Though Hong Fuxiu has never done business before, her rich experience with Kou Ta and many visits to workshops and Immortal Cities naturally enabled her to know some tricks in these businesses.

Previously, they didn’t have any backing and didn’t dare to get involved in such trades, but now with Yang Zhenshan as their support, they can also compete in these businesses.

”Since that’s the case, let’s go to the Ten Thousand Treasures Store first!” Ning Yun interjected.

”Alright!”

The four agreed and went together to the Ten Thousand Treasures Store.

Being new here, they couldn’t act rashly. After all, True Yang Immortal City is different from other places, and many forces in the city are related to Golden Core Power.

To settle in True Yang Immortal City, they need a local power to rely on.

Undoubtedly, the Ten Thousand Treasures Store is the best choice.

The Ten Thousand Treasures Store engages in high-end businesses, while the Yang family can only conduct low-end businesses, so they are not in competition.

Yang Zhenshan is now a Sixth-Rank Guest Elder of the Ten Thousand Treasures Store and holds a considerable status within, not to mention that the store has Zhongli Xiayi, an old friend.

Therefore, before Hong Fuxiu and the others came to True Yang Immortal City, Yang Zhenshan had already informed Zhongli Xiayi in advance.

When Hong Fuxiu and the others arrived at the Ten Thousand Treasures Store, they quickly met Zhongli Xiayi.

”Yang has already told me. I have prepared four shops for you, all on Qianyang Street, and you can move in whenever you wish!”

”As for the council, you can visit Xuan Shouyun of the White Crane Clan, who is responsible for managing the city’s property sales.”

”Just take my token and go straight over!”

Zhongli Xiayi only gave them a few simple instructions, handed them a token, and then hurriedly left.

The Ten Thousand Treasures Store was at its busiest, and as a manager, Zhongli Xiayi didn’t have time to entertain Hong Fuxiu and the others properly.

However, she arranged for a clerk to escort Hong Fuxiu to look at the four shops.

These shops naturally weren’t owned by Zhongli Xiayi; she merely helped Hong Fuxiu and the others reserve a place in advance. Now Hong Fuxiu and the others still have to purchase them.

With Zhongli Xiayi’s help, Hong Fuxiu and the others quickly settled in True Yang Immortal City.

They bought four shops and also purchased two cave mansion courtyards.

Soon after, they began to prepare for the opening of the Yang family’s shops.

Meanwhile, White Cloud True Monarch, Que Lingyu, and Chi Hua True Monarch’s negotiations with Xiao Shan and other Demon Kings also concluded, with all three entering True Yang Immortal City’s council, becoming members entitled to a share of the city’s benefits while contributing to its security.

Initially, the remaining three council seats in True Yang Immortal City were meant for Human Race Cultivators, and it was difficult for Que Lingyu to secure this seat. But now Que Lingyu represents the Sky Cloud Sword Sect, considered an immortal cultivation force of the Human Race.

Within the Wanhua Western Region and Wanhua Mountain Range, the number of Golden Core cultivators in True Yang Immortal City was limited, barely surpassing a handful.

According to the ideas of Xiao Shan, Xuan Ling, and Xiong Ba, the choice was to pick one each from the Xiaxian Sect, Huaxian Sect, and Nanhua Sect, and then select another based on the situation from either White Cloud Immortal City or the Li family of the Immortal Clan.

The current outcome aligned with their initial thoughts, so they agreed to the Sky Cloud Sword Sect’s proposal after just a few negotiations.

Once the council matters were settled, the remaining tasks became simpler.

Though there are many Golden Core cultivators and Demon Kings in the Wanhua Mountain Range, few dare to risk angering the Wanhua Demon Court by causing trouble at this time.

Of course, those daring to make trouble have now lowered their flags and ceased their issues, like the Yellow Springs Ancestor and Chi Yuan True Monarch.

Yellow Springs Ancestor, although very dissatisfied with the outcome, also understood that he had no power to contend with True Yang Immortal City on his own.

Ghost cultivators are rare, and the Yellow Springs Hall in the Wanhua Western Region is also heavily ostracized by all sides, making them hard to integrate into True Yang Immortal City.

As for Chi Yuan True Monarch, he is currently healing his wounds in his old lair.

This time, when he attacked Yang Zhenshan and Jian Changhe, it was a heavy loss. His spirit beast, Mystic Gold Lin Nue, was captured by Que Lingyu, and his Mountain Suppressing Seal was taken by Qingyuan Fox Venerable and given to Yang Zhenshan.

Moreover, he lost three hundred years of lifespan; thinking about the lost three hundred years made his heart ache like bleeding.

However, until he finds a way to counter the Withered and Flourishing Divine Power, he dares not trouble Yang Zhenshan again.
