(Today is the murloc's birthday ~ "School Belle" 5 chapters exploded, and also pulled down the monthly votes for the new book "Ultimate Young Master Cultivator" ~! Recently, everyone has been saying that the mining story is a bit long. En, the murloc will shorten this part of the plot. Although it will waste a part of the stock manuscript, it doesn't matter. The murloc can directly write the later trials and other interesting plots! The following plots are written by the murloc every day, but he will not reduce the number of chapters. He will try to write a part of the manuscript in advance every morning and update it the next night. He will try not to make everyone wait because the update time is not fixed!)
Of course, after strolling through the entire outer street and middle street, there were still a few items that could catch Lin Yi's eye. However, the prices of these items were not low. They often cost dozens or even hundreds of spirit jades. For Lin Yi, although these things were a little useful, they were not particularly critical and important. They belonged to the category of buying or not buying. If Lin Yi had a huge sum of thousands of spirit jades, he might buy them. But now, he would take a look first.
After strolling through the outer street and middle street, Lin Yi originally planned to go back, but the situation in front of him made him stop unconsciously.
That was the entrance to the inner street. Usually, idlers were not allowed to enter. Only the top ranked inner disciples of the three pavilions were qualified to enter. The last time he came, it was deserted and looked extremely mysterious. But today, the flow of people was bustling inside. What surprised Lin Yi was that many of them were only masters in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, and the guards responsible for maintaining order did not stop them like last time!
What is this situation? Lin Yi was stunned for a moment before he finally found a special sign that was different from the past at the entrance to the inner street. Inner Street Open Day! There was also a line of small words below. Masters above the early stage of Foundation Establishment can enter.
After all, when he was in the secular world, he had been exposed to various commercial means. After Lin Yi stopped and thought for a moment, he quickly figured out the reason.
The inner street was the most mysterious and highest street in the market square. The reason why there was a threshold for entry was that the inner street was the most mysterious street in the market square. The main purpose was to highlight their noble status and attract the most elite inner sect disciples of the Three Great Pavilions. After all, this group of people had large amounts of spiritual jades on hand and belonged to the main group of high-end consumers. After the entry threshold was set in the inner street, others could not enter, but only they could. This in itself was a symbol of noble status. When this group of people's sense of superiority was satisfied, they were naturally more willing to come to the inner street to spend.
In fact, the items that could be stored in the Inner Street had to be of a much higher quality than those in the Outer Street and Middle Street. Naturally, the price would be much more expensive. Those who had not reached the corresponding level would not be able to afford it. Thus, rather than wasting time with these low-level cultivators in the outer and middle streets, it would be better to gather them in the inner streets and create a threshold effect, specifically serving the most elite inner sect disciples of the Three Great Pavilions.
Therefore, from a purely commercial point of view, the inner street was equivalent to a super VIP in the market. Its existence was very reasonable and effective. However, any business method would have its drawbacks, and the existence of the inner streets was no exception.
While the threshold effect attracted the elite disciples of the Three Great Pavilions, the drawbacks of the inner streets were also extremely obvious. That was, its source of customers was naturally very small. There were only so many elite disciples of the Three Great Pavilions, which meant that the market of the inner streets was naturally limited. This was obviously not a good thing for a commercial organization that strived to develop.
After all, although 99% of the low-level cultivators in the outer and middle streets could not afford the items in the inner streets, there were always some exceptional potential customers. However, there were always some exceptional potential customers, such as those second-generation cultivators who were not very strong but had a large number of spiritual jades like the elite disciples of the Three Great Pavilions. Therefore, the inner streets were opened to the public.
The most mysterious inner street of the market square was chosen one day a month to be opened to ordinary cultivators who did not meet the threshold. This way, it could attract more potential customers and at the same time, it would not arouse the resentment of the elite disciples of the Three Great Pavilions. In fact, the opening day of the inner streets every month would let more low-level cultivators truly understand the privileges they had and become even more envious of them. Therefore, the existence of the inner streets would not make the elite disciples of the Three Great Pavilions feel that they were degraded. Instead, it would satisfy their sense of superiority, killing two birds with one stone.
Sure enough, there was no time like the present. With such a rare opportunity to see the true face of the inner streets, Lin Yi naturally would not let it go for nothing. Anyway, he had nothing to do. Maybe he could encounter some treasures he liked in the inner streets, or he could directly buy the last Heart-Devouring Exquisite Grass needed to refine the Heavenly Golden Pill in the inner streets. This was not impossible.
Releasing the aura of an early-stage Foundation Establishment expert, the inner street guards only glanced at Lin Yi and happily let him pass.
Following the flow of people into the inner streets, Lin Yi only took a look around and found that the inner streets were indeed very different from the outer streets and the middle streets. This could be clearly distinguished from the layout of the street and the structure of the shops.
Simply put, the shops on the outer streets did not have a fixed layout at all. In fact, they were purely stalls. Although the middle streets were better, the nature was basically not much different from the farmers' markets in the secular world. However, the inner streets were very particular. At a glance, there were nearly 20 shops, each with its own independent pavilion. The layout was elegant and grand. At a glance, one could tell that it was a high-end place.
According to the usual situation of the inner streets, the flow of customers was actually not large. If a shop could have three or four people enter at the same time, it would be considered a prosperous business. However, today's inner streets were obviously not in this category. Not to mention three or four, based on this situation, perhaps even thirty or forty people would not be able to stop them!
Fortunately, these shops were big enough. Even with so many people pouring in, it didn't seem too crowded. Moreover, there were trained disciples in charge of receiving them. Thus, although the scene looked lively, it was still orderly and didn't cause any trouble.
With great interest, Lin Yi followed the flow of people and looked carefully at each shop. As he expected, the prices of the items in the inner streets were far higher than those in the outer and middle streets!
In the outside world, an item worth a few dozen spirit jades was already considered a high price. As for an item worth more than a hundred spirit jades, it was even rarer. However, in this inner street, any random item would start from a few dozen spirit jades. Lin Yi followed the flow of people and looked at several shops. He almost did not see an item priced at less than fifty spirit jades. Instead, items priced at hundreds or even hundreds of spirit jades could be found everywhere.
Sure enough, only after entering the inner street did one realize how poor one was! Originally, Lin Yi thought that although the amount of spirit jades he had on hand was not much, it was absolutely not a small amount. But now that he looked around, his mood suddenly became the same as the time when he carried a small piece of spirit jades to stroll around the outer and middle streets. Ah, he was embarrassed.
Lin Yi had originally planned to buy something, but now he had no choice but to dispel this idea. This trip would be better for him to take a look and just treat it as an eye-opener. After all, even if he spent all the spirit jades he had on hand, he would not be able to buy anything decent.
