I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1045: Chapter 572: School District Housing (Thanks to zoy1 for the alliance leader reward)_2 Chapter 1045: Chapter 572: School District Housing (Thanks to zoy1 for the alliance leader reward)_2 After reaching a difficult agreement with Fu Zongjue, Fang Xuanyang began to take advantage of Xuan Xiao’s Commerce Association’s access to the three realms. Using Foundation Building Pills as trump cards and the exclusive Rank-3 Golden Cloud Rice, he started to continuously develop the Treasure Color Market.

“Sect Master, forgive me, but using your method, I could only manage to run Beiyuan City in a way that it shares the Rock Country Market equally with the Treasure Color Market.”

As Chen Mobai wandered through the much-expanded Beiyuan City, E Yun followed by his side, his face showing a hint of shame.

“You’ve done quite well, after all, the Foundation Building Pills and Rank-3 Golden Cloud Rice are things that even our sect cannot produce.”

The Divine Wood Sect’s refined Foundation Building Pills were so precious that even they scarcely had enough for their own use, let alone to compete with the Treasure Color Market.

And the Rank-3 spirit rice was even rarer.

In the entire Eastern Wilderness, only Back to Sky Valley had Coiling Dragon Spiritual Rice, thanks to their association with the Star Heaven Dao Sect – and these were goods that even Core Formation Practitioners had to queue to purchase.

Fang Xuanyang lured most of the Qi Practitioners in the Eastern Wilderness with Foundation Building Pills, and with the Rank-3 Golden Cloud Rice, he even made many families and Loose Cultivators willingly part with their spirit stones to trade at the Treasure Color Market.

Even Chen Mobai received news from the Witchcraft Division of his sect, reporting that the Five Elements Sect and the Snow-blowing Palace had opened branches in the Treasure Color Market specifically to purchase Golden Cloud Rice for their Nascent Soul Ancestors.

After all, in the Eastern Wilderness, aside from Yan Shaoyin who did not lack Rank-3 Spirit Rice, all other Core Formation Practitioners found it insufficient.

If not for the channels the Divine Wood Sect had to purchase Fire Crystal Rice from Sun Bathing Sea and Yellow Bud Rice from Dongwu, and the fact that they had a hostile relationship with the Treasure Color Market, they would probably have not been able to resist sending spirit stones to Fang Xuanyang.

That Beiyuan City could still divide the market equally with the Nanxuan Sect under the pressure of Foundation Building Pills and Golden Cloud Rice was all thanks to the groundwork laid by Chen Mobai beforehand.

Sell houses!

The contracts personally signed by Chen Mobai, the Sect Leader of the Divine Wood Sect, ensured that Cultivators who bought Cave Mansions in Beiyuan City would be protected by the whole sect until their property deeds expired, even if they offended a Golden Core Cultivator.

This policy was instantly coveted by all the Loose Cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness who lacked a sense of security.

This was a guarantee by Sect Master Chen of the Divine Wood Sect, sworn on his Dao Heart. As long as the homebuyers had no history as Rogue Cultivators, had a clear identity, and paid in full, they could obtain a property title to a Cave Mansion in Beiyuan City.

Now, it was a mark of prestige among all the Loose Cultivators in the Eastern Wilderness to own a house in Beiyuan City.

The initial offering of three hundred Rank-1 Spiritual Root Cave Mansions sold out immediately. In the face of competitive bidding, prices surged from the initially tentative 1,000 spirit stones per unit to an increase of six to seven times.

And with a single stroke of his pen, Chen Mobai entrusted all the revenue to E Yun, allowing him to continue developing the real estate in Beiyuan City.

“It’s just that the Rank-2 Cave Mansions are not selling well. Those Cultivator Families only bought one Rank-1 unit each. After all, the protection offered by the sect is the same whether one owns a Rank-1 or Rank-2 Cave Mansion.”

E Yun spoke of the problem he encountered.

Rank-2 Cave Mansions in Beiyuan City were theoretically sold to Foundation Establishment Practitioners, but most of those who had achieved this realm were the patriarchs of major families.

They already possessed their own clan lands, with even more vigorous spiritual veins and protective large formations, making it unlikely for them to inhabit a Rank-2 Cave Mansion in Beiyuan City even if they bought one.

The other Loose Cultivators at Foundation Establishment were few in number and lacked a secure dwelling, but they could hardly be counted on one hand.

On the other hand, there were some Qi Cultivation Perfection Loose Cultivators who could afford 10,000 spirit stones for a Rank-2 Cave Mansion. Normally, these individuals were not willing to reveal that they had such wealth, but within the safety of Beiyuan City, they need not worry too much.

However, these people were after all the minority.

With a hundred Rank-2 Cave Mansions initially planned, only twelve had been sold to this day.

“This is simple.”

After hearing this, Chen Mobai appeared completely at ease and proposed a solution to E Yun that left him with his eyes shining and a look of astonishment.

“School district housing?”

Yuan Chiye, Qi Rui, and Yu Lian, who were listening on the side, felt confused.

Could this really stimulate those Cultivator Families to purchase Rank-2 Cave Mansions?

“I am a person who enjoys educating and nurturing talent. The tradition of the Divine Wood Sect to enroll sect members only once every decade undoubtedly causes many people with a Spiritual Root to miss their prime cultivation years, so I’ve been pondering how to solve this problem and found that the private academies in the Mortal World are an excellent approach.”

“I plan to start with a pilot Daoist Academy in Northern Abyss City, specifically for recruiting cultivators with a Spiritual Root. Any cultivator who has a property deed within Northern Abyss City can send their descendants under the age of thirty here. I will serve as the honorary principal, and dispatch true disciples and Foundation Establishment Practitioners from our sect to personally teach and guide them.”

“This academy will enroll a new class of students every year, with six grades in total. After six years, I will personally set the exam, and those who pass can enter my Divine Wood Sect and become its disciples. If they wish to go to Golden Cliff, that too is no problem.”

“Students who do not pass the exam will be given a certificate of completion. However, if a student comes from a Rank-2 Cave Dwelling, even if they don’t pass, they can directly enter the Divine Wood Sect without examination.”

Chen Mobai had long harbored this idea, as the traditional decennial disciple recruitment in the Eastern Wilderness was just too inefficient.

The Immortal Gates had reached peak mastery in their research on education.

He only needed to make minor adjustments before implementing the same system here.

With the current reputation of the Divine Wood Sect, countless people from the Eastern Wilderness aspire to join.

This is the perfect opportunity for expansion. If they are limited to opening the sect’s gates only once every ten years, they could easily miss out on this rare peaceful development period.

Upon hearing Chen Mobai’s plan for the school district real estate, E Yun vaguely sensed the great impact it would have on the property sales in Northern Abyss City.

At the very least, most of the remaining eighty-eight Rank-2 Cave Dwellings could be sold.

But E Yun completely underestimated the influence of the school district properties.

After the news spread, representatives of the major families in Northern Abyss City came rushing over the very next day, nearly trampling down his doorstep.

“E Town Guardian, one set for the Wang family!”

“We, the Tie family, want two sets!”

“Snow Peak Bai Family will take five sets!”

…

In just three days, all of the Rank-2 Cave Dwellings were snatched up, leaving not a single one left for E Yun.

“Damn it, sold too cheap!”

As he looked at the map of Northern Abyss City, where the Rank-2 Cave Dwellings were marked with full flags, E Yun’s face was full of regret. He slammed the table, lamenting why he had not increased the prices.

“Hahaha, no need to mind. According to my original plan, only one-tenth of Northern Abyss City has been developed. There are nearly a thousand Rank-2 Cave Dwellings yet to come. Just shout your prices,” said Chen Mobai, hearing E Yun’s sighs as if he had lost millions of Spirit Stones. Yet he appeared utterly unconcerned.

If Northern Abyss City were fully developed according to his initial plans and all the shop and Cave Dwelling plots were sold, they would likely gather nearly a hundred million Spirit Stones from the families and Loose Cultivators across the Eastern Wilderness.

However, he had no intention of draining the lake to catch all the fish at once. The housing prices would surely rise step by step with the development and accompanying facilities.

It was necessary to make cultivators who bought Cave Dwellings in Northern Abyss City feel they had made a worthwhile purchase.

“By the way, how many Rank-3 Cave Dwellings have been developed?” Chen Mobai continued, as these were intended for his own Divine Wood Sect cultivators to live and cultivate in.

“Reporting to Sect Leader, we have opened up ten on the mountaintop.”

“If we were to sell them for a hundred thousand Spirit Stones each, do you think anyone would be willing to buy?” asked Chen Mobai.

Contemplating Chen Mobai’s question, E Yun shook his head after a long moment, feeling that even wealthy families like Snow Peak Bai Family would not spend so much on a Rank-3 Cave Dwelling.

“What if I add that students from Rank-3 school district properties are guaranteed a Foundation Building Pill upon entering the sect? Would people buy then?”

At Chen Mobai’s words, E Yun’s mouth hung open in shock.
