Inside the city lord’s mansion of the mysterious mall.
The city lord’s mansion that Ye Qingxuan had built was not on the ground of the city.
Above the central area of the mysterious mall, a cone-shaped structure floated high above the city.
Atop this cone-shaped structure was where Ye Qingxuan’s city lord’s mansion was located.
Calling it a city lord’s mansion was really just a high-altitude pavilion.
Ye Qingxuan named this pavilion the Shangxuan Pavilion.
From the Shangxuan Pavilion, one could easily see all the surrounding scenery.
At this moment, Ye Qingxuan was standing at the edge of the pavilion with his hands behind his back, looking down over the entire mysterious mall.
Watching the ever-growing stream of people on the city streets below, Ye Qingxuan revealed a satisfied smile.
The more people he attracted, the greater the benefits he would be able to gain in the future, and the more Blue Demon Race corpses he would be able to acquire later on.
In every shop within the mysterious mall, Ye Qingxuan had set up collection points for Blue Demon Race corpses.
According to the current market price.
A complete Foundation Establishment stage Blue Demon Race corpse was worth 6,000 to 60,000 low-grade spirit stones.
A complete Purple Mansion stage Blue Demon Race corpse was worth 180,000 to 1,800,000 low-grade spirit stones.
A complete Golden Core stage Blue Demon Race corpse was worth 90,000 to 900,000 mid-grade spirit stones.
A complete Nascent Soul stage Blue Demon Race corpse was worth 50,000 to 500,000 high-grade spirit stones.
A complete Spirit Transformation stage Blue Demon Race corpse was worth 30,000 to 300,000 supreme-grade spirit stones.
For Blue Demon Race corpses above the Spirit Transformation stage, no cultivator had yet brought one out for sale.
As for Qi Refining stage Blue Demon Race corpses?
To produce a boosting effect on the growth of the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land, the number of Qi Refining stage Blue Demon Race corpses needed would be extremely large.
The time required to refine such a huge number of Qi Refining stage Blue Demon Race corpses using the purification grand formation would already be enough for the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land to absorb external energy on its own and convert it into the corresponding origin.
Moreover, doing so would also occupy a massive amount of space in the purification grand formation.
So Ye Qingxuan did not plan to purchase Qi Refining stage Blue Demon Race corpses from the outside.
For Blue Demon Race corpses of other realms, Ye Qingxuan’s mysterious mall purchased them at a price ten percent above market value.
Aside from purchasing Blue Demon Race corpses.
Ye Qingxuan did not pay too much attention to other matters in the mysterious mall.
The main reason he built this city was to purchase low-level Blue Demon Race corpses to cultivate the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land.
At present, the city had just been established, and besides, the Xuanmu Realm had only been open for a very short time. The number of low-level cultivators from the human race and the Blue Demon Race who had entered the Xuanmu Realm was still not very large.
So for this period ahead, Ye Qingxuan did not expect to purchase many Blue Demon Race corpses.
As long as the city remained, with a steady, long-term flow, sooner or later he would purchase more and more Blue Demon Race corpses.
As for selling other goods, Ye Qingxuan only needed to replenish the stock in time.
For this, Ye Qingxuan planned to have his Explorer Clone handle it.
In the short term, the main area of activity for his Explorer Clone would be the Xuanmu Realm.
It would mainly be responsible for coordinating the resource transmission between the mysterious mall and his main body.
Ye Qingxuan took one last look at the city, then turned and returned to the pavilion.
Just how much potential this city could have, and how much benefit it could bring him, Ye Qingxuan could not yet estimate accurately.
Seeing that the mysterious mall had already gotten on track, Ye Qingxuan handed the storage bag containing the Blue Demon Race corpses to his Explorer Clone.
He planned to have his Explorer Clone bring the Blue Demon Race corpses back to the Xuantian Sect.
After the Explorer Clone left.
Ye Qingxuan’s main consciousness was about to leave the Mysterious Merchant Clone and return to his main body, but was suddenly drawn to the attention of a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.
Directly below the Shangxuan Pavilion was a doorway that appeared out of thin air; on both sides of the doorway, two second-order wooden puppets stood guard.
This doorway could directly teleport to the Shangxuan Pavilion where Ye Qingxuan was.
The mysterious mall was suppressed by a sixth-order low-grade Nine Palace Eight Trigrams Grand Formation, so cultivators below the Spirit Transformation stage could not fly in the air.
Therefore, if ordinary cultivators wanted to enter the Shangxuan Pavilion to see Ye Qingxuan, the only way was through this doorway.
At this moment, outside the doorway, a Nascent Soul stage cultivator at the peak stage, carrying a long saber in his arms, was slowly walking over.
“I wish to seek an audience with the city lord and make a deal with him. Please trouble you two to announce me.”
With his realm, he could naturally see through that the two before him were puppets.
But he was not clear whether the one controlling these puppets was the city lord of the mysterious mall himself, or someone else.
He had come here to ask a favor of someone.
So, out of caution, he did not treat these two puppets rudely.
Above in the Shangxuan Pavilion, Ye Qingxuan thought for a moment, then decided to meet this cultivator.
With a thought, one of the puppets guarding the doorway below spoke:
“Please!”
As it spoke, the puppet extended a hand, gesturing for this saber-carrying cultivator to enter.
After receiving permission, the saber-carrying cultivator nodded expressionlessly, then entered the doorway.
Inside the Shangxuan Pavilion, Ye Qingxuan was already seated in the seat of honor, waiting quietly.
A flash of light appeared in the hall, and that saber-carrying cultivator had already appeared inside the Shangxuan Pavilion.
Seeing the newcomer, Ye Qingxuan spoke in a slightly hoarse voice:
“Who are you? What deal do you wish to make with this old man?”
That saber-carrying cultivator looked at Ye Qingxuan’s clone, the Mysterious Merchant, with his silver-white hair and silver mask, and was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself:
“An old man?”
However, the age a cultivator appeared to be on the outside could not provide much of a reference, so he had no way to determine the other party’s specific situation.
Raising his hand and cupping his fists slightly, he said calmly:
“I am Dao Changchun. Greetings, city lord.”
“I have come this time because I wish to exchange this Blue Demon Race corpse with the city lord for some gold spirit stones. May I ask if the city lord has any?”
As he spoke, Dao Changchun took out a Blue Demon Race corpse and threw it on the ground.
This Blue Demon Race corpse was none other than Xie Wu, whom he had slain earlier.
“Gold spirit stones?”
Ye Qingxuan sat upright in the seat of honor, glanced at the Blue Demon Race corpse on the ground, and lightly tapped the armrest beneath his hand with the fingers of his right hand.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Qingxuan finally spoke:
“I do have gold spirit stones. How many do you want to exchange for?”
Gold spirit stones were a sixth-order spirit mineral that could be used to forge high-grade spirit artifacts and increase their sharpness.
This kind of spirit mineral could be purchased within the Xuantian Sect.
Hearing Ye Qingxuan’s reply, Dao Changchun still wore an expressionless face, but a hint of joy flashed through his eyes as he said calmly:
“Two cubic measures!”
Hearing this, Ye Qingxuan slowly shook his head:
“The market price of gold spirit stones is 4,000 supreme-grade spirit stones per cubic measure, and the market price of a Blue Demon Race Nascent Soul stage peak corpse is 5,000 supreme-grade spirit stones.”
“So, I can only give you one cubic measure of gold spirit stones plus 1,000 supreme-grade spirit stones.”
Dao Changchun hesitated for a moment, then finally looked at the long saber in his arms before speaking:
“Alright, but for the spirit stones I want 1,500 supreme-grade spirit stones.”
Dao Changchun had looked into the prices at which the mysterious mall’s shops purchased Blue Demon Race corpses, so he naturally was not willing to suffer a loss.
To this request, Ye Qingxuan did not refuse, and nodded:
“That’s fine, but the gold spirit stones will require three days before the transaction can be made.”
There were currently no gold spirit stones in the mysterious mall’s inventory.
If they wanted to trade, they would have to wait until he purchased gold spirit stones from the Xuantian Sect and had his Explorer Clone bring them back to the mysterious mall.
Hearing the time Ye Qingxuan mentioned, Dao Changchun nodded slightly and put away the corpse on the ground:
“Very well, I will come again in three days.”
After saying that, Dao Changchun prepared to leave the Shangxuan Pavilion.
Ye Qingxuan did not keep him any longer either, and opened the doorway leading below, allowing Dao Changchun to leave the Shangxuan Pavilion.
