Incredible Sect Simulator-Chapter 396 - 366: Building a Cultivation Market

During the time staying in Guangde County, when he had nothing to do, Lu Ping would wander around Guangde County, paying attention to the situation of cultivators living here and the economic pillar status of Guangde County.

As the largest town within a hundred miles radius, Guangde County’s population has reached over thirty thousand.

Among them, there are currently one hundred and thirty-six cultivators residing, most of whom are Qi Cultivation Loose Cultivators.

Lu Ping has not seen a single Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

These loose cultivators are the backbone force belonging to Guangde County, playing a huge role in consolidating the stability of Guangde County. They are also the key focus group of Xu Mengyuan, who often interviews these loose cultivators about their living and cultivation conditions in the city.

Because whether in Lushan County, the entire Chu Kingdom, or even Lingxi State, once cultivators and ordinary people live in a town, cultivators will definitely drive the surrounding economic development, giving rise to industries such as cultivation markets and spirit field cultivation.

Many cultivation clans or capable loose cultivators will employ ordinary people as labor to do things within human capability, such as constructing pavilions, transporting materials, etc., thus freeing up more cultivation time.

Ordinary people will also gain various benefits from cultivators, earn rewards, broaden horizons, and encounter immortal destinies and the like.

In Guangde County, Lu Ping noticed that recently, quite a few loose cultivators were consulting with Xu Mengyuan, wanting to unite with Xu Mengyuan to build a small cultivation marketplace in the city to meet the daily trading needs between cultivators, purchasing some basic Qi Cultivation Pills, Tier One and Tier Two Spiritual Artifacts, talismans, etc.

This way, they won’t have to frequently travel to Qinghe Market, Xihe Market, and other cultivation markets, thus avoiding long journeys.

In the future development of Guangde County, building its own cultivation market is inevitable.

But because Xu Mengyuan has gone into secluded cultivation in secret, Zhang Xiao came forward to temporarily host these loose cultivators.

"According to the long-term development of Guangde County, a large cultivation market cannot be established. A small market could be built for the scale of over a hundred cultivators."

"The future sale of cultivation resources from the Cyan Mountain Sect, spirit fish, magical artifacts, elixirs, etc., can be directly transported to Guangde County for sale."

After learning about the plans of the city’s loose cultivators, Lu Ping pondered for a while, then immediately floated back to the City Lord’s Mansion and sent a communication to Lu Zhiwei to tell her about this matter.

Where there is demand, there will be a market.

The construction of a cultivation market in Guangde County isn’t difficult to implement.

The Cyan Mountain Sect itself has opened shops in Qinghe Market, and the sect can produce Cyan Bamboo Swords, Qi Cultivation Pills, and even spirit fish; they can easily initiate the sale of a batch within Guangde County.

"Building a small cultivation market in Guangde County..."

"Father, I think it’s feasible."

After listening, Lu Zhiwei was quiet for a while before saying, "Guangde County is also our family’s territory now. Building a cultivation market there is not considered difficult."

"Indeed, the construction side of things doesn’t have to wait for Xu Mengyuan to come out of seclusion. We can contact Distant Mountain to get started on this."

"Creating our own cultivation market there is much better than competing with other marketplace shops in Qinghe Market, and we won’t be reliant on others."

Lu Ping said slowly.

"Mm, when our elder brother comes over, we can further discuss this together."

Seeing that Lu Zhiwei also thought it feasible, Lu Ping then sent a communication to Lu Yuanshan the same day, explaining the matter.

In essence, constructing a small cultivation market isn’t a difficult task for the Cyan Mountain Sect, and building it within Guangde County is a very simple matter.

Now within Guangde County, there’s already a market embryo in the south city, where cultivators frequently gather and set up stalls in certain special markets for cultivators.

As long as these places are properly planned and integrated into one, setting up a designated trading venue for the cultivation market, then the cultivation market can basically be established.

Upon receiving Lu Ping’s order, Lu Yuanshan came to Guangde County the next day, personally visiting various places in Guangde County for inspection, and gathered the city’s cultivators to jointly discuss the construction of the market.

"Is it true that the Cyan Mountain Sect is going to establish a cultivation market here in our place?"

"Fellow Daoist, when even the Sect Leader of the Cyan Mountain Sect has personally come, how could it be false?"

"Hahaha, great, great!"

"We should have built a market here a long time ago, saving us the trouble of traveling far to Qinghe Market and worrying about being robbed on the way."

"Fellow Daoist, quickly come with us to the City Lord’s Mansion! The Sect Leader of the Cyan Mountain Sect is inviting us to discuss the construction of the market, such beneficial things for us, we should take initiative and not delay."

"Yes, yes! Let’s go together! Let’s go together!"

With the Cyan Mountain Sect coming forward to fund this, these loose cultivators are too happy to be dissatisfied and not cooperate.

They soon actively cooperated and met with Lu Yuanshan at the City Lord’s Mansion, enthusiastically discussing the matter for an entire afternoon.

As for why Xu Mengyuan didn’t make an appearance or what he was doing, no one asked too much anymore.

Even the Cyan Mountain Sect, behind Xu Mengyuan, had its Sect Leader personally come forward, naturally making it ideal to discuss matters with this Sect Leader.

This shows that the cultivation market is being constructed by the Cyan Mountain Sect.

Finally, after heated discussions, a marketplace in the south city was chosen as the location, and construction began on the third day thereafter.

Lu Yuanshan stayed within Guangde County to lead, planning efficiently and reasonably for the construction of this small cultivation market.

For cultivators, engaging in construction is extremely simple, and some loose cultivators showed a very high level of eagerness, actively participating in the construction.

As a result, ordinary people around the market could often see cultivators casting magic and performing divine techniques, drawing the crowd to stop and watch.

As for planning and arranging resources like shop stalls once the market is completed, Lu Yuanshan didn’t need to worry too much about these aspects.

Over a hundred loose cultivators couldn’t all have the capability to open shops; many were living frugally, barely able to make ends meet, and didn’t have the capital to open shops with spirit stones.

So rather than saying it’s opening a backdoor for the loose cultivators in Guangde County to build a cultivation market, it’s more like creating an income source for the Cyan Mountain Sect in running a market.

According to the construction period estimates, this small cultivation market will need roughly half a month for completion, which is not a long construction period.

While paying attention to the construction progress of the market, Lu Yuanshan also personally traveled to Qinghe Market according to the procurement list given by Lu Zhiwei.

Because he needed to start refining spirit beast saddles, and the required refining materials were many, including two wood attribute materials, Purple Sun Wood and Lingxi Vine, which might not be available at the Qinghe Market, so Lu Yuanshan decided to make the trip himself.

In the meantime, Lu Yuanshan wanted to take the opportunity to tour the Qinghe Market for a better understanding and optimization of their own cultivation market’s construction.

Upon arriving at Qinghe Market, Lu Yuanshan first entered the Cyan Mountain Residence to meet Shopkeeper Xu Yecheng.
