All Ye Qingxuan could do for now
was to rapidly amass various resources and accelerate the growth of his Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land.
After the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land advanced to the third tier, the speed at which it integrated spirit ores and analyzed elemental rules improved once again.
This also meant that Ye Qingxuan needed to invest more resources every day just to keep up with the growth rate of the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land.
Now that his cave heaven blessed land had reached the third tier, Ye Qingxuan not only had to supply third-tier spirit ores—
he also couldn’t stop acquiring first- and second-tier spirit ores that hadn’t been analyzed yet.
In fact, any spirit ore that the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land hadn’t yet parsed and integrated, and any spiritual plant it hadn’t yet grown, could all contribute to the blessed land’s growth.
After all, what Ye Qingxuan was cultivating was a small world of its own, and for it to develop smoothly, there were simply too many elemental rules that needed to be analyzed.
Spiritual plants weren’t too bad—growing them could bring him a decent return.
But spirit ores were a total money pit right now. No matter how much you threw in, it was never enough.
It was still manageable at the lower tiers, but once the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land grew to higher tiers and required massive amounts of high-tier spirit ores—
Ye Qingxuan’s current assets wouldn’t be nearly enough to feed it.
So all he could do now was plan ahead and speed up his resource accumulation.
This was exactly why, right after condensing his external incarnation, he immediately dispatched it to the Eastern Extreme Domain.
The various spirit ores in the Eastern Extreme Domain could bring a massive boost to his Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land.
With his external incarnation’s cultivation base and trump cards, plus his main body working behind the scenes to provide an endless supply of goods,
once his external incarnation established a foothold in the Eastern Extreme Domain, it could totally support a vast commercial network that would bring him enormous profits.
After he used the resources from the Eastern Extreme Domain to accelerate the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land’s advancement and raise his own cultivation,
his other incarnations’ cultivation levels would also rise accordingly.
And that would be the moment for Ye Qingxuan’s commercial platform to expand into the other four Extreme Domains.
His current third-tier Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land could condense three Realm Gates.
If it weren’t for the fact that he still had too few incarnations, their cultivation was too low, and the other Extreme Domains were too far away,
Ye Qingxuan would have long since sent his incarnations off in different directions to scour the other four outer regions of the Dizxuan Realm for resources.
Still, taking it steady and moving step by step like this wasn’t a bad thing either.
“First, I need to expand my foothold within the Xuantian Sect itself!”
After making up his mind, Ye Qingxuan sent a message to Zhu Dafu.
He told Zhu Dafu to raise the prices of Spirit-Cleansing Nuclear Explosion Pills and to prepare for the launch of fourth-tier Nuclear Explosion Pills and fourth-tier Spirit-Cleansing Nuclear Explosion Pills.
He also informed Zhu Dafu of the pricing for both products.
At the same time, Ye Qingxuan instructed Zhu Dafu to start stockpiling large quantities of all kinds of first- to fourth-tier pills, magical treasures, talismans, formations, and even various spiritual materials.
Over the years, the Tianfu Shop had signed agreements with many channels, so acquiring these low-tier resources wasn’t difficult.
Especially for first- and second-tier resources—Zhu Dafu had also expanded the Blessed Land Cultivator Alliance he’d been maintaining all these years.
The alliance now had over a hundred first- and second-tier blessed land cultivators serving as supply channel partners for the Tianfu Shop.
Most of these first- and second-tier blessed land cultivators also practiced one of the four cultivation arts on the side.
So now, just relying on the Blessed Land Cultivator Alliance alone could supply the Tianfu Shop with a large amount of first- and second-tier resources.
The only condition was that Ye Qingxuan had to be willing to spend enough spirit stones.
These low-tier resources, along with the massive stockpile of spiritual materials and herbs currently stacked up in the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land, were all prepared for his external incarnation.
Even though his external incarnation hadn’t reached the Eastern Extreme Domain yet,
some things needed to be prepared in advance.
Arriving in a strange new place, Ye Qingxuan didn’t want to fight an unprepared battle.
And keeping a well-stocked supply was the foundation of his confidence for expansion in the Eastern Extreme Domain.
Once his external incarnation arrived in the Eastern Extreme Domain, he wasn’t going to start small—joining a local market or opening some tiny shop to slowly grow.
With the Realm Gate, Ye Qingxuan could funnel enormous resources from the rear to his external incarnation.
At that point, he planned to have his external incarnation directly claim a piece of territory, build a city, and establish a trading market of his own.
If you’re going to do it, do it big.
In the Eastern Extreme Domain, Ye Qingxuan was confident he could hold onto a single city in the early stages.
Once he got past that initial phase and raised both his own cultivation and the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land’s level, he’d have nothing to fear from those Spirit Transformation-level powers in the Eastern Extreme Domain.
That would be the time for further expansion.
After that, Ye Qingxuan called for Ye Zhaobeng.
He had Ye Zhaobeng take a batch of the fourth-tier Nuclear Explosion Pills and fourth-tier Spirit-Cleansing Nuclear Explosion Pills he’d just refined over to the Tianfu Shop.
Meanwhile, after receiving Ye Qingxuan’s message, Zhu Dafu said in surprise:
“Fourth-tier pills? Did Ye Qingxuan break through already?”
He hadn’t expected that a blessed land cultivator like Ye Qingxuan could make a breakthrough so quickly.
In the years since the Tianfu Shop had stabilized,
Zhu Dafu had come to his senses too. He’d turned down most social engagements and focused on secluded cultivation.
With the dividends from the Tianfu Shop’s channels and the middleman profits he’d earned back when Ye Qingxuan had scammed those eight Spirit Transformation-level powers,
Zhu Dafu hadn’t lacked for cultivation-assisting pills in the later stages. He’d been taking pills daily to aid his training, and his cultivation had advanced rapidly.
But because he’d wasted so much time on other matters early on, and because his five-element spiritual roots were nothing special,
even after he woke up and started cultivating seriously, he’d only just reached the peak of the Purple Mansion realm and was preparing to form his Golden Core.
That was exactly why, when Ye Qingxuan produced fourth-tier pills and he guessed that Ye Qingxuan had broken through, Zhu Dafu was so surprised.
Still, surprise aside, the tasks Ye Qingxuan had assigned still had to be done.
Fortunately, these matters no longer required Zhu Dafu to handle everything personally, so they didn’t take up too much of his time.
After Ye Zhaobeng delivered the fourth-tier Nuclear Explosion Pills and fourth-tier Spirit-Cleansing Nuclear Explosion Pills,
Zhu Dafu followed Ye Qingxuan’s instructions and passed the orders down the line.
The price increase for Spirit-Cleansing Nuclear Explosion Pills didn’t cause much of a stir, since there weren’t many buyers for them these days.
As for the launch of fourth-tier Nuclear Explosion Pills and fourth-tier Spirit-Cleansing Nuclear Explosion Pills, aside from spreading among the Tianfu Shop’s regular customers and creating a small ripple, it didn’t make much of an impact either.
Most of the lower-tier disciples in the Xuantian Sect were now focused solely on raising their cultivation so they could head to the battlefield as soon as possible.
So naturally, they paid less attention to other matters.
Besides their daily training, most of what they followed were updates from the battlefield and the rise of various teams and cultivators making a name for themselves there.
It was much the same for low-tier cultivators outside the Xuantian Sect as well.
The only noticeable change at the Tianfu Shop was that, after the fourth-tier Nuclear Explosion Pills and fourth-tier Spirit-Cleansing Nuclear Explosion Pills went on sale, the shop’s revenue and profits began to creep upward slowly.
Ye Qingxuan didn’t pay too much attention to that.
Given his current standing, he was already content with what he’d achieved in the Xuantian Sect’s market.
His focus had now shifted to markets outside the Xuantian Sect.
Everything was just waiting for his external incarnation, Gui Xuanzi, to reach the Eastern Extreme Domain—then he could rapidly set his plan in motion in that distant, remote region.
