Gou Zai Xian Men Dang Void Workshop Master

If the market does not expand and more Penglai tokens are not issued, then the transaction volume will gradually stabilize in the future.

With sufficient resources, cultivators in the Purple Mansion realm will improve their cultivation level and eventually form their core, advancing to the Core Realm. At that time, they will leave the market.

The premise is that the market will not be upgraded.

This is obviously impossible. Although Chen He's spiritual root is not good, he has ample resources, and his cultivation speed will only be faster than theirs.

Of course, that's a matter for the future.

The current situation is that

It's possible that the number of spirit stones won't exceed 100 million for a long time to come, unless we keep saving them up.

Chen He had anticipated this.

The biggest source of income for the market is actually the stall buyout fees.

After all 72 stalls were bought out, the amount of spirit stones immediately exceeded 100 million.

Reaching a transaction volume of over 100 million is not so simple, after all, resources also need to be stored.

Baiweilou needs to buy ingredients to make spiritual dishes and then sell them to cultivators to make money.

Tianwu Tower needs drinks, tea, and snacks, and it also needs to provide spirit stones for the dancers and musicians to maintain their magical artifacts.

The Spirit Plant Pavilion buys and sells spirit plant seeds and even the methods of cultivating spirit plants.

The Treasure Pavilion is rarely visited because people keep the good items for themselves and don't sell them easily, let alone rare treasures.

Street vendor taxes are levied once a year.

If you count carefully, the most profitable place in the market is actually the library, because it has no costs.

Secondly, there's the Treasure Pavilion, where you both sell and buy resources, making a good profit from the middleman's price.

Finally, there's Jianbaoju, whose main income comes from treasure appraisal, information fees, topping up Penglai tokens, and most importantly, witnessing transactions.

Cultivators who enter Penglai Heaven and instead engage in private transactions rather than purchasing items from stalls need to visit the Treasure Appraisal Pavilion.

Pay a fee and ask Madam Hong to take you upstairs to witness the transaction.

If either party falsifies information, Jianbaoju will be able to detect it, and the transaction will not be able to proceed.

This ensures the security of the transaction.

This type of transaction is only suitable for large-scale transactions; it's not feasible to hire Lady Red for ordinary transactions.

It can be said that Jianbaoju is the most important and most popular place in the market.

The reason for this is that some monks have been scammed at street stalls.

It wasn't seventy-two stalls, but rather private stalls in the open space in front of the building.

Private stalls are not protected by the market, even if they pay spirit stones.

However, the market town was absolutely safe, so the deceived cultivators could only appeal to the golden-armored soldiers.

Although they can all be resolved in the end, it's too time-consuming.

Therefore, the cultivators all came to understand.

For small transactions, go to the seventy-two street stalls; for large transactions, go to Lady Red for witnessing.

If you're looking for something not too big or too small, head straight to the treasure chests; only go to private stalls if you're looking to find a bargain on Taobao.

This also resulted in private stalls not doing as well as the 72 square stalls.

But many people still set up stalls because as long as they pay spirit stones, it's like renting a stall, and no one can drive them away.

This is much more cost-effective than going to the Immortal Abode, so many Qi Refining cultivators and Foundation Establishment cultivators do this, and the number of private stalls has skyrocketed.

The open space on both sides was completely filled, even the area in front of Jianbaoju was packed.

To put it bluntly, cultivators simply rent a place to stay where their consciousness can freely enter and exit; it's not just for the purpose of making a transaction.

Chen He was aware of these circumstances.

The market is too small and there are too many cultivators, so it needs to be expanded.

But he didn't do that.

The market has been established for too short a time.

He doesn't have much foundation and needs time to digest and operate it; he needs to take it slow.

As long as the market gets back on track, that's fine.

Continuing to expand is not impossible, but the risk of getting out of control has increased significantly.

He was only a minor cultivator at the second level of Qi Refining; even if the market was developing too well, he still had to keep it under control.

At least before advancing to the Purple Mansion level, the number of times the market will be upgraded will not be very high.

After reviewing the situation in the market, Chen He looked at his personal warehouse.

We currently have 1.5 million spirit stones.

Most of it was a natural feedback to him after the market's spirit stones exceeded 100 million.

He used the spirit stones to purchase supplies in the market to equip himself.

First comes a set of ritual implements, including inner armor, underwear, trousers, shoes, socks, belt, etc.

Underwear is worn close to the skin, providing not only comfort but also automatic cleaning and temperature control.

The inner armor is a defensive magical artifact. In addition to its own magical defense, it also has a defensive light membrane covering the entire body, which activates a shield when attacked.

The boots have special abilities such as acceleration and levitation, and the belt also has special abilities.

In the spiritual practice community, weapons and tools that require magical power to activate are collectively referred to as magical implements.

Magical artifacts are all at least Tier 2, because only cultivators at the Qi Refining level or above can possess magical power.

Foundation Establishment cultivators don't have them; they use talismanic artifacts, just like the tools used by the servants on Green Ox Peak.

First-order spell artifact.

The power is not in the tool itself, but in the power of the talismans on the tool; it cannot be considered a magical artifact.

Second-order magical artifact.

The first three levels of Qi Refining can activate basic magical artifacts, the middle three levels can activate intermediate magical artifacts, and the last three levels can activate advanced magical artifacts, with vastly different powers.

Chen He bought a complete set of basic magic artifacts, along with hairpins, jade pendants, and other items.

These magical artifacts can save lives if used properly. After wearing them, Chen He felt much safer and more comfortable.

Of course, on the surface he was still wearing the robes of an outer disciple, a white robe with green patterns.

In addition to these magical artifacts, Chen He had a storage ring in each of his left and right hands.

One was filled with pills, and the other with talismans; both first- and second-tier talismans were included.

There are mostly second-tier pills, which are all usable in the first three levels of Qi Refining.

His foundation is now solid, so even if he takes pills, he is not afraid of impurities affecting his cultivation. He just needs to circulate his magic power more.

They also prepared a lot of second-tier talismans, and even some high-level second-tier talismans for use at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

The third-tier price was too high, and Chen He's magic power was insufficient to fully unleash its power, so he only prepared three and didn't touch the others.

In addition to these, he also had bracelets on his wrists. The left bracelet contained a pill furnace and some magic swords, thunderbolts and other special magic weapons, while the right bracelet contained more than a dozen array artifacts.

Both are second-tier storage bracelets, slightly inferior to rings, but still rare and exquisite pieces that most Qi Refining cultivators cannot afford.

Actually, he doesn't need a storage artifact.

The market itself belongs to him; with a thought, he can take items from it.

It could be said that the market was his portable warehouse, making everything he did very convenient.

The reason for equipping so much is to create a persona and prevent high-level cultivators from detecting them.

Of these magical artifacts, the storage ring is the most expensive, followed by the storage bracelet.

A dozen or so formations are expensive, as they are complete sets of formation devices that can be set up directly without needing to calculate directions, so the price is naturally not cheap.

As for the magic sword, it is mainly used to assist in attacks. Chen He also dreams of becoming a sword immortal, but unfortunately, he cultivates magic, not swordsmanship.

Having several sets of magic swords can serve as a trump card, or even be used for disguise. You can also try practicing a few different sword techniques later.

As for the Thunderclap Bomb, it was made using the method of external alchemy, using materials such as metals and stones to create an explosive weapon with considerable destructive power.

Chen He could refine it himself, but he wasn't interested in external alchemy, so he didn't spend time studying it and just bought a few sets to keep for later.

It can be used to block enemies or even set traps in critical moments, making it an essential item that might even turn the tide in a desperate situation.

As for the other basic magic weapon sets and accessories, their prices are not expensive; all of them combined are less than a storage ring.

Finally, he discovered that he still had several hundred thousand spirit stones left out of 1.5 million, so he went to pick and choose some.

Chen He ultimately chose a mid-level magic artifact called the Fire Crow Gourd.

It is a gourd-shaped magical artifact suitable for fire-based cultivators. It can be used to input fire-based magic power and raise a flock of fire crows inside the gourd.

These fire crows are not flesh and blood creatures, but fire crow spirits born from the demon souls of ordinary first and second-tier fire-beaked crows absorbed by the magic.

By using magical techniques and channeling mana, one can nurture the Fire Crow's spirit. The longer the nurturing process, the stronger the Fire Crow's spirit becomes, not only gaining its own fire attacks but also being able to damage the soul.

For a cultivator like Chen He with powerful magical abilities, this magical artifact is a perfect match.

After getting all the equipment ready, Chen He didn't linger in Penglai Heaven and quietly returned to the bamboo house.
