Chu Shen pondered for a while. If he wanted to solve this problem, he would have to trouble Sphynx Laoda. He had come to look for Lu Ye once before, but to no avail.
Now that he saw Lu Ye's Star Boat returning, he hurried over.
Lu Ye had just returned to his cave. Before he could even sit down, the restriction at the cave entrance was triggered. He opened it and saw Chu Shen walking in.
Looking over, Chu Shen was taken aback. Other than Lu Ye, there was also a tall and slender woman with an icy temperament.
Lu Ye did not know why this woman from the Soul Tribe was willing to show herself. However, she did not look any different from a human, provided that she did not use any of the special techniques of the Soul Tribe. If she was willing to do so, Lu Ye could not control her.
At this moment, Lu Ye was sitting upright while the woman from the Soul Tribe stood quietly at the side like a servant.
Chu Shen obviously misunderstood something. He looked at Lu Ye with admiration. Sphynx Laoda was indeed Sphynx Laoda. Even a woman with such beauty and figure was willing to serve him. He was truly a role model.
However, he did not know the relationship between Lu Ye and this woman from the Soul Tribe. He did not dare to ask and only greeted Lu Ye.
"What's the matter?" Lu Ye asked.
Chu Shen sat in front of Lu Ye and briefly explained the predicament of the Peerless Island.
Lu Ye said, "If a faction wants to survive on the Myriad Phenomenon Sea, they should have their own way of making money." There was no need to talk about the top-grade Spiritual Islands with spirit jade mines. Below the top-grade Spiritual Islands, no matter if they were high-grade, mid-grade, or low-grade Spiritual Islands, without a certain way of making money, they would not be able to survive here.
Which cultivator did not need spirit jade for cultivation?
"What are your plans?" Lu Ye asked. Chu Shen must have some considerations for coming to find him at this time.
Chu Shen straightened his face and said, "Senior Brother, this is what I think. We don't have any special skills, so we can't help people refine pills or forge weapons. Other than doing some escort missions to earn spirit jade, we can only cooperate with other factions."
The escort mission he mentioned was a very common thing in the Wanxiang Sea. For example, when An Zhe and Lu Ye had traded a large number of Dragon Breath Crystals and wanted to return to their domain, it was not safe for An Zhe to rush to the Insect Path from the Wanxiang Sea with so many Spirit Jades on him, so he had to recruit some people to protect him along the way. As long as he could return to his domain through the Insect Path, he would be safe.
But if An Zhe wanted to find someone to escort him, he couldn't just randomly find someone. He had to find someone reliable and trustworthy. The Peerless Island now had the qualifications to do this, but the path hadn't been opened yet, and Chu Shen didn't plan to get involved. Firstly, the profit wasn't great, and secondly, the competition was fierce. The Peerless Island didn't have any advantage in this aspect, and thirdly, there weren't many people on the Peerless Island.
Therefore, he felt that cooperating with other forces was the safest and fastest way.
"How?"
Chu Shen said, "Let them set up shop on our Spiritual Island at a discounted price or even free of charge. When there are profits, we will take a portion of the profits as repayment. One or two shops may not make much profit, but as long as there are enough shops, the profits will not be small."
Lu Ye nodded, "You want to turn Wushuang Island into a commercial Spiritual Island."
"That's what I think. What do you think, Senior Brother?"
"Your idea is good, but there is a problem." Lu Ye looked at Chu Shen, "How can you convince those factions to set up shop on our Spiritual Island? Even if you convince them, how can you guarantee the flow of customers?"
Without customers, it would be useless no matter how many shops there were. Of course, if there were enough shops to turn Wushuang Island into a commercial Spiritual Island, the flow of customers would not be low. By then, even if Chu Shen did not take the initiative to contact them, there would definitely be some factions who would be willing to talk to him.
However, everything was difficult in the beginning. The first thing Wushuang Island had to do was to guarantee a certain flow of customers. Only then would the factions see the profits and be willing to set up shop here. The more shops there were, the more customers there would be. This was a snowball effect.
Chu Shen said, "So we need a special item that can attract many cultivators. It would be best if it could attract the interest of all the constellations and not be too expensive!"
Once Chu Shen said this, Lu Ye knew what he was thinking.
He was obviously trying to create a Unity Array Disc!
Although it had been some time since the Constellation Hall auction ended, the various factions were studying the mysteries of the Array Disc. Many of them had made good progress. However, it was still very difficult to mass produce the Array Disc. Other than the Island of Versatility, there were only a few top factions who were qualified to sell the Array Disc. Moreover, the number of Array Discs that these factions could sell was extremely limited and the price was very high.
If Wushuang Island took out the Array Disc at this time, it would definitely attract many cultivators. This way, the flow of customers would be guaranteed.
Although the cultivators came here mainly for the Array Disc, they would definitely be willing to buy one or two items if they saw other items that they needed. After all, the distance between each spiritual island on the Island of Versatility was very far. As long as the price was not too different, no one would be willing to waste time to buy from other places.
In the auction, the price of a single Array Disc was indeed not too expensive. If three to five cultivators worked together, it would not be difficult to buy one.
Lu Ye remained silent. He was thinking that if he really did this, Wushuang Island would not be too peaceful. When that time came, it would definitely be lively with people coming and going. However, if he really succeeded, it would not be too bad.
He was prepared to bring the cultivators of the Nine States to the Island of Versatility if he had the chance in the future. If there was a stable source of income, then the cultivators of the Nine States would not have to worry about not having enough spiritual jades when they came.
The Mermaid Territory was his exclusive source of income. However, Lu Ye did not ask the Mermaid Territory for spiritual jades when he sent some spiritual pills there last time. He felt that compared to a business relationship, it was better to maintain a friendly relationship.
The Mermaid Territory valued him very much. Last time, he even borrowed the power of the Mermaid Territory to deal with a mid-stage Yue Yao. This was not something that could be measured by spiritual jades.
Chu Shen looked at him nervously. He did not know what Lu Ye would decide in the end.
After a long while, Lu Ye said, "I can give you the Array Disc, but it is not suitable to sell it in large quantities. Otherwise, it will attract jealousy and hatred. You have to make a plan to ensure that not too many items are sold in a certain period of time."
"Senior Brother, don't worry. I have considered this point. I will not lose the big picture for the small. I think that selling three to five spiritual jades a day is already good enough. Not only will it ensure a steady flow of customers, but it will also not attract the attention of those big forces!"
Lu Ye praised, "If you can think of this, it means that you have seriously considered it. However, you must remember that a cultivator should still pay attention to their own cultivation. You are talented. Don't delay your own cultivation because of the Wushuang Island!"
"Senior Brother is right. I will remember!"
After receiving Lu Ye's approval, Chu Shen was very happy. He was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he talked with Lu Ye about the future development and plans of the Wushuang Island.
It was obvious that he was very concerned about the Wushuang Island. It was no wonder. At his age, he was able to establish a force in a place like the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea. Moreover, it was likely that the force would only grow stronger in the future. It was enough to be proud of.
Half a day later, when Chu Shen was about to leave, Lu Ye suddenly said, "Send someone to the Ten Thousand Elephant Island. Find a woman selling Spirit Pills in the scattered market and see if you can recruit her!"
If it was possible, the Wushuang Island could have its own store that sold Spirit Pills. The woman's Alchemy skills were quite good.
However, Lu Ye felt that there was not much hope. If someone with such skills wanted to rely on a force, they would have done so long ago. Why would they wander to the scattered market and set up a stall?
Even so, Lu Ye still wanted Chu Shen to give it a try.
Unfortunately, Lu Ye did not know the woman's name.
Chu Shen asked about the woman's appearance and characteristics, then took a bottle of Spirit Pills from Lu Ye's hands before leaving.
Lu Ye silently pondered for a moment. If the Wushuang Island could really develop according to Chu Shen's plan, its prospects would be very good. He increasingly felt that leaving Chu Shen on the Wushuang Island was a wise choice. Otherwise, it would be a waste of time and energy for him to take care of these things himself.
Lu Ye turned to look at the Soul Clan woman and asked, "How should I address you?"
The Spiritas woman glanced at him indifferently without any intention of speaking. If she hadn't spoken in his Divine Sea before, Lu Ye would have thought that she was mute or that she couldn't understand his words.
Lu Ye did not care about her attitude. If he were in her shoes, he would not have been able to act any better if he had been restricted by a restriction and had no freedom.
However, it was impossible for Lu Ye to undo the restriction on her body. He had spent a total of thirty-two million spirit jades to purchase this Soul Clan in order to solve the problem of the martyrs of the Nine Regions. Before solving this problem, even if she bore a grudge against him, Lu Ye had to tie her to his side.
There was still time in the future and they could slowly get along. Lu Ye believed that sincerity could move metal and stone. One day, he would be able to find a solution from this Soul Clan woman.
Continuing to deduce the spirit patterns of the Life Origin Technique, Lu Ye began to refine the Twin Qi Linked Branch Array Disc.
The following days were calm and peaceful. Lu Ye stayed in his cave. The Soul Clan woman had no intention of running away. Moreover, after experiencing the invasion of Lu Ye's Divine Sea, she had given up on any thoughts of attacking Lu Ye. This was because the Soul Clan's methods had no effect on Lu Ye, so there was no need for her to do something useless.
During this period, Ghost kept contacting Lu Ye's doppelganger, saying that she wanted to go to the Mermaid Territory to cultivate with Bai Lu. Lu Ye was annoyed and arranged a time and place with Ghost through his doppelganger. After they met, he sent her over. Now, the world was peaceful again.
Unparalleled Island was undergoing construction again. Chu Shen had reorganized the entire Spirit Island and divided it into two. One part of it would be the residence and cultivation place of the island's cultivators. This part would not be open to the public. The other part would be open to the public and many shops would be built.
Lu Ye did not participate in this. However, from the information that he occasionally obtained, Chu Shen's side was progressing well. He should have reached an agreement with many factions. Now, he was just waiting for the initial preparations to be completed before he could open for business.
