Cultivation of Immortality: Starting from Fu Cultivation

Chapter 520 The Peculiarity of Star-level Stores

"Yes, boss!"

After hearing Ye Qingxuan's words, Zhu Dafu bowed respectfully again, then flew away from the stone pavilion and flew towards the market town.

After leaving the stone pavilion for a distance, Zhu Dafu's face flushed, and he said excitedly:

"I knew that the boss behind me was not simple, but I didn't expect that I still underestimated the boss behind me."

In addition to the sixth and seventh level enlightenment tea, Ye Qingxuan can even take out the seventh level top-grade talismans.

And judging from Ye Qingxuan's words, he will continue to sell low-grade spiritual treasures and seventh-level formation plates in the future. How could he not be shocked?

After all, these things are not something that ordinary Cave Void Realm cultivators can supply for a long time.

"What is the current strength of this shopkeeper, the boss behind the scenes?"

With doubts in his heart, Zhu Dafu's flying trajectory crossed the sky.

The feeling of knowing a big secret that no one else knows, yet being bound by an oath and unable to tell anyone else, is really itchy.

After returning to the market town, Zhu Dafu did not go back to Tianfu shop immediately, but went to the management office of the market town.

After entering the management office in the center of the city, Zhu Dafu bypassed the other managers in the God Transformation Realm and walked directly into a palace deep in the management office.

"Elder Li, I am Zhu Dafu, the owner of Tianfu Store. I came here to upgrade Tianfu Store to a star-level store."

"Tianfu shop?"

After hearing Zhu Dafu's words, a middle-aged man in a purple and gold robe who was resting with his eyes closed in the palace slowly opened his eyes.

After looking at Zhu Dafu, he turned his gaze to a floating sand table in front of him.

The entire sand table was a scaled-down version of the Xuantian Sect’s market town.

After finding the location of Tianfu Shop in the sand table and integrating his spiritual consciousness into it to read the information of Tianfu Shop, Elder Li was suddenly surprised.

"Ok?"

Then Elder Li frowned slightly, looked up and looked at Zhu Dafu with a bit of doubt, which made Zhu Dafu feel a little numb.

Just when Zhu Dafu was at a loss and was about to ask, Elder Li nodded slightly and said:
"But, where is the spirit crystal?"

"Here are 30,000 low-grade spirit crystals. Elder Li, please count them!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Dafu hurriedly took out the 30,000 low-grade spirit crystals that Ye Qingxuan had given him and handed them to Elder Li.

"Ok!"

After counting the spiritual crystals that Zhu Dafu handed over, Elder Li waved his hand and took out one million high-quality spiritual stones and handed them to Zhu Dafu:
"This is the deposit you paid to Tianfu Store. I will return it to you now."

"Remember, after you upgrade to a star-level store, your spiritual crystal turnover must reach 30,000 low-grade spiritual crystals every hundred years."

"If this requirement is not met, the store will be removed from the star store list, and the 30,000 low-quality deposit will not be refunded."

"Okay, if you have no other objections, you can leave now!"

"Yes, thank you Elder Li!"

Seeing that everything went well, Zhu Dafu felt relieved.

After all, before this, apart from hearing that one needs to pay 30,000 low-grade spirit crystals as a deposit to upgrade to a star-level store, he didn't know if there would be any other thresholds.

It now seems that there should not be any other major barriers to upgrading to a star-level store except for a deposit of 30,000 low-grade spirit crystals.

But that’s true, thirty thousand low-grade spirit crystals is itself a high threshold.

Being able to come up with 30,000 low-grade spirit crystals as a deposit means that the owner of the store has sufficient resources and strength, which naturally means that he has the capital to upgrade the store to a star-level store.

As for the 30,000 low-grade spirit crystals required every hundred years? That was not something he should worry about.

Based on his understanding of his boss behind the scenes, since Ye Qingxuan dared to upgrade Tianfu Store to a star-level store, the mere turnover of 30,000 low-grade spirit crystals every hundred years should not be a big problem.

After Zhu Dafu left, Elder Li in the hall looked at Zhu Dafu's departing back and muttered to himself:

"Who is the elder behind this Tianfu store? The information is so encrypted that even this elder doesn't have the authority to view it?"

He naturally didn't know that Ye Qingxuan's identity information had been concealed and blocked by the Master of the Xuantian Sect's Dan Hall and the Master of the Xuantian Sect.

Now, except for the Sect Master and the Grand Elder of Xuantian Sect who can view Ye Qingxuan's information, no other people in Xuantian Sect have the authority to check Ye Qingxuan's detailed information.

Ye Qingxuan is the behind-the-scenes boss of Tianfu Store. Under such circumstances, Elder Li naturally cannot view the deeper information of Tianfu Store.

"Forget it! It has nothing to do with me anyway!"

Although he was somewhat curious, since he did not have the authority to check, Elder Li did not delve into it any further. Otherwise, if he found out some secrets that should not be touched, it would not be a good thing.

After suppressing his curiosity, Elder Li's consciousness poured into the sand table in front of him.

The next moment, the Tianfu store in the sand table burst into dazzling light, and the overall situation began to change slightly.

At the same time, after the Tianfu store in the sand table changed, the Tianfu store in the market also changed accordingly.

After a flash of eye-catching light, the Tianfu store began to rise involuntarily. Although it was still three stories high, it was more than twice as high as before.

Moreover, the spatial structure inside the Tianfu store has also undergone significant changes. Many single rooms, counters, and several exhibition halls have appeared out of thin air, and the area has expanded by about ten times.

Not only that, in the dazzling light, a star condensed and began to rise from the roof of Tianfu Shop. The light it emitted attracted the attention of the entire Xuantian Sect market.

"Look, a bright star suddenly rose in the market. Is there a rare treasure coming out?"

"Snapped!"

"Idiot, that's because a store in the market has been upgraded to a star-level store. This is a unique sight when a star-level store is upgraded."

After a shop in Xuantian Sect’s market town is upgraded to a star-rated shop, a star will condense and float above the shop for three days. This is equivalent to announcing to the cultivators in the market town that the shop has been upgraded to a star-rated shop. It can also be regarded as a welfare promotion after the shop is upgraded to a star-rated shop.

After three days, this suspended star will shrink and lose its light, and will eventually be imprinted on the plaque of Tianfu store.

As a star-level certification for Tianfu store.

After becoming a one-star store, if Tianfu Store wants to continue to upgrade its star rating, it will depend on the transaction volume of high-level items every hundred years.

As long as the transaction volume reaches the target, the Tianfu store will be automatically upgraded in the next year, and the stars printed on the plaque will be automatically added. However, after this promotion and star upgrade, although there will be certain changes to the store, there will no longer be a scene like today where the stars are suspended in the air.

"It's the Tianfu store. The source of the light comes from the Tianfu store. The Tianfu store has been upgraded to a star-level store."

"Damn it! Didn't Fatty Zhu say that the store was open? How come the Tianfu store was upgraded to a star store all of a sudden?"

"Could it be that Fatty Zhu has broken through to the Void Realm? But this isn't metaphysics?"

"Don't make a fuss. The last time I met Fatty Zhu, he was still in the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm. How is it possible that he has broken through to the Void Realm all of a sudden?"

"That's right. If Fatty Zhu can break through to the Void Realm, then I will be in the Void Realm."

"Oh, the Void Realm? You dare to think about it? Don't flatter yourself."

"What? You don't accept it? My master said that now that the great world has come, anyone can hope to set foot in the fairyland, let alone the mere Void Realm? In a few years, when my cultivation breaks through the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm, I will go to the Green Demon Realm for training."

"I have always felt that I am the son of destiny. When I go to the Green Demon Realm, I will surely turn danger into safety and encounter many adventures. It will no longer be a dream for me to make rapid progress in my cultivation."

"Ah, yes, yes! You are the child of destiny, then I am also the destiny!"

"boom!"

"Eh? It was just a slip of the tongue. I'm just a licker at best! Please let me go!"

Seeing the sudden rumbling of thunder and lightning in the sky, the man who had spoken so arrogantly before decisively chose to give in.
After that man admitted his mistake, the group of people looked at the sky with lingering fear and immediately stopped arguing.

Some confused monks in other places in the market looked up at the lightning that had disappeared and were puzzled for a moment.

Only those elders who were high up and attracted by the sight of Tianfu Store being upgraded to a star-level store, had already cast their gazes towards the group of people they had been talking to before when the lightning appeared in the sky, and could not help but sigh:

"Young people are still the best! They don't know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is. They dare to fight and strive... and they dare to think!"

"Tianfu Store? Does anyone know who is behind this Tianfu Store?"

Obviously, the elders of the Dongxu Realm who now appeared in the market did not believe that the owner of the Tianfu Shop would be Zhu Dafu, a mere early stage of the Huashen Realm as mentioned by the people below.

“I don’t know. This is the first time this elder has heard of Tianfu Store.”

"Elder Sun had been concentrating on cultivation before, so it was normal that he didn't know about this Tianfu shop. Hundreds of years ago, this Tianfu shop made a nuclear explosion pill, which caused quite a stir among the low-level cultivators in the sect at that time."

"Oh? Really? This Tianfu shop is quite interesting."

"Let's go and take a look at the Tianfu store. As the only store in the market that has been upgraded to a star level in the past three thousand years, I want to see what extraordinary heritage this Tianfu store has."

As a dominant force, Xuantian Sect has many cultivators who have advanced to the Dongxu realm in the past thousand years.

However, there are very few Dongxu Realm cultivators who open shops in the market town, and there is even no one who opens a shop in the market town and upgrades the shop to a star-level shop.

Upgrading a star-level store may seem easy, but in fact, it is as difficult as ascending to heaven for ordinary cultivators in the Cave Void Realm.

Just thirty thousand low-grade spirit crystals.

Even if a cultivator of Xuantian Sect has just advanced to the Dongxu Realm, it would not be easy to accumulate 30,000 low-grade spirit crystals without the support of the sect elders or master.

And even if you take out 30,000 low-grade spirit crystals, it does not mean that you can run a star-level store.

After all, it cost 30,000 low-grade spirit crystals to upgrade the store to a star-level store.

If you don't have a steady supply of seventh-grade treasures, then you will have wasted 30,000 low-grade spirit crystals in vain.

But for an ordinary cultivator in the Void Realm, it is impossible to occupy a treasure land that can produce seventh-grade natural materials continuously.

Even in the Dixuan Realm, where spiritual energy is abundant, it is extremely difficult to accidentally discover a seventh-level treasure land that has just been born from heaven and earth and has not been occupied by anyone without extraordinary luck.

As for snatching other people’s seventh-level resource treasures?

You are both cultivators in the Void Realm. Others have seventh-level resources at their disposal, while you are just a poor fellow. On what basis can you rob others in their base camp?
As for those powerful people in the Dongxu realm who have also studied the four arts of immortal cultivation, as alchemists, weapon refiners, talisman makers, and formation masters, these cultivators can indeed accumulate resources more quickly.

But when they just advanced to the Void Realm, how could they have sufficient resources to raise their attainments in the four arts of cultivation to the seventh level?
Moreover, even if these powerful people in the Cave Void Realm successfully raised their attainments in the four arts of cultivation to the seventh level after a period of hard work.

However, after reaching the seventh level, the time required to refine seventh-level talismans, seventh-level elixirs, seventh-level formation plates, or lower-grade spiritual treasures will increase significantly.

If one is not careful, the refining process may fail.

If they did not occupy a treasure land that could continuously produce seventh-level resources, even if the attainments of the four arts of these Dongxu realm cultivators were raised to the seventh level, it would not be enough to support the operation of a star-level store.

In addition, Xuantian Sect will take a commission from the transaction volume of the shops in the Xuantian Sect market.

If the quantity of seventh-grade natural treasures is relatively small, it would be better to trade them privately between Xuantian Sect's Dongxu Realm cultivators.

For many long-established star-rated stores in Xuantian Sect Market, profit is secondary.

The main function of a star-level store is to help the controllers behind the star-level store to collect sect contribution points through the star-level store, as well as to purchase special or natural treasures that they need.

All of this requires the controllers behind these star-rated stores to have huge high-level resources and spiritual crystals as support.

Therefore, it is precisely because of the above reasons that Ye Qingxuan's Tianfu store is the only store in Xuantian Sect Market to be upgraded to a star level in the past three thousand years.

After all, not everyone is like Ye Qingxuan.

He is also a weapon refiner, alchemist, talisman maker, and formation master. Not only does he have high attainments, but the success rate of his refined products is also astonishing.

He also owns a seventh-level blessed land and a starlight cave secret realm of the void level. He alone occupies two eighth-level spirit veins, more than a dozen seventh-level spirit veins, and a seventh-level starlight stone spirit mine.

In addition, there are the seventh-grade elixir that is continuously cultivated in the blessed land, a seventh-grade enlightenment tea tree, and the seventh and eighth-grade treasures of the Green Demon Realm that were purified and re-nurturing by Ye Qingxuan with the help of the eighth-grade blessed land purification formation.

Even if Ye Qingxuan does not sell the spiritual treasures, seventh-level talismans, seventh-level formation plates, and seventh-level pills that he has refined in Tianfu Shop in the future.

Just relying on the continuous production of seventh-level enlightenment tea, seventh-level spiritual ore, and seventh-level spiritual medicine, and regularly selling a batch of them is enough for Ye Qingxuan to keep the Tianfu store running after it was upgraded to a star level.

Moreover, with two eighth-level spiritual veins and more than a dozen seventh-level spiritual veins as backup, Ye Qingxuan can completely purchase seventh- and eighth-level treasures through the Tianfu Shop.

Apart from the ones you use yourself, the rest can be sold in Tianfu store to earn the difference.

Therefore, in the market town of Xuantian Sect, anyone who dares to upgrade a store to a star-level store.

If he is not a fool who knows nothing, then he is a wealthy man with a solid foundation and many good things.

This is also the real reason why those Dongxu Realm cultivators who happened to be in the market today were tempted to go to Tianfu Store to take a look after seeing the store upgraded to star level.
