Although there would no longer be any discounts on rent, Tang Jun had promised the cultivators present that within five days, everyone would be able to choose their own location on the Three World Island. This caused the merchants who had made their decision to look forward to it. Many of the cultivators who had only come to check out the situation were influenced and decided to move to the Three World Island.
The news quickly spread. Coupled with the arrival of the Rainbow Merchant Guild and Che Ling Jie, countless cultivators from all over the Wanxiang Sea rushed to the Three World Island.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the rise of the Three World Island was unstoppable. The arrival of the Rainbow Merchant Guild could only improve the situation of the Three World Island, but it couldn't completely change the situation. However, the arrival of Che Ling Jie had a decisive effect!
These merchants didn't dare to move to the Three World Island before because they were afraid of Yuan Du. However, Che Ling Jie had Jiuyan behind her. If the Three World Island formed a relationship with Che Ling Jie, why would they be afraid of Yuan Du?
The various discounts given to the first three merchants who chose to move to the Three World Island wasn't actually discussed by the Yue Yao of the Three World Island. It was Old Tang's decision.
He understood that the Three World Island had only attracted a few small merchants. Although there were many of them, they didn't have a strong foundation.
Small merchants were indispensable, but large merchants were also needed. Old Tang wanted to use this opportunity to promote the Three World Island. As long as the Three World Island was lively enough, there was no need to worry about the large merchants not moving in.
One had to admit that his decision was very wise. After the first batch of cultivators entered the Three World Island, more and more cultivators arrived in just half a day. The business district of the Three World Island became extremely lively.
At the port, He Baichuan was personally in charge of receiving the merchants. He also sent some of the island's cultivators to lead the merchants into the island to check out the details.
Under such an atmosphere, the large merchants who received the news could no longer sit still.
They could see the bright future of Three World Island. Before, they hadn't done anything because they were giving Yuan Du face. But now, with the actions of Three World Island and the arrival of many small businesses, Yuan Du's face had been trampled to the ground and torn to shreds.
These large merchants naturally couldn't hold back.
The location of the Three World Island was the best. The largest piece of land had already been taken by the Rainbow Merchant Guild. They wanted to ensure their future profits on the Three World Island, so they had to enter as soon as possible. Only then could they choose a better location.
Half a day later, the first big merchant finally arrived, followed by the second and the third …
As usual, Tang Jun was the one to receive them.
In the discussion hall, Old Tang even specially pulled Chu Shen over to accompany him. Seeing was believing. Although there were rumors that Che Ling Realm cultivators had entered the Three World Island, before he saw it with his own eyes, whether this news was accurate or not still needed to be verified.
Therefore, Chu Shen's appearance was necessary. He didn't have to do anything, he just had to sit at the side.
Moreover, when Chu Shen was building Matchless Island, he had interacted with the people in charge of these large factions, so he was not unfamiliar with many of them. After chatting for a while, they were even more certain of Che Ling Jie's position. They were even more optimistic about the future of Three World Island. Nearly ninety percent of the people in charge of large businesses immediately decided to move to Three World Island.
In just a short period of time, the Three World Island that no one was interested in before suddenly became a hot topic in the Ten Thousand Phenomenon Ocean, attracting the attention of countless cultivators.
A few days later, a large number of merchants moved in to repair their shops and prepare goods.
The Three World Island also announced that in ten days, the island would be completely open. Cultivators could enter the island to buy and sell goods. Moreover, the Five Color Merchant Guild would also hold a grand auction on this day, respectfully inviting cultivators from all over to attend.
In the Ten Thousand Phenomenon Ocean, the most famous merchant guild was undoubtedly the Ten Thousand Phenomenon Merchant Guild. After all, this was a local merchant guild, no other outsider could compare to it.
However, the Five Color Merchant Guild's reputation was not bad. When the news of the auction spread, it naturally attracted the attention of many cultivators.
In order to prepare for this auction, the Five Color Merchant Guild mobilized a lot of rare goods. Moreover, the names of these goods were made into jade scrolls and distributed everywhere to build momentum in advance.
Giant Blade Island.
During this period of time, the atmosphere on Giant Blade Island was not good. Three months ago, the Three World Island's army came to Giant Blade Island. Although there was no conflict, Giant Blade Island paid a huge price to force the Three World Island to retreat.
They really didn't get to eat the lamb and instead got into trouble. When the news spread, Giant Blade Island became the laughingstock of the entire Ten Thousand Phenomenon Ocean.
At that time, the Three World Island extorted twenty million spirit jades worth of goods from the Giant Blade Island. Their reserves of spirit jades were almost depleted. During this period of time, the cultivators of Giant Blade Island had to tighten their belts to live. They basically had no spirit jades to use when cultivating.
Although they had already sent people back to the local star system to seek material support, it would take at least half a year to go back and forth.
In other words, they would have to wait another three months for the situation on Giant Blade Island to improve.
As the Island Master of Giant Blade Island, Zhao Yunqi had been blaming himself and vexing these past three months. He regretted that he had listened to Yu Huan's enticement and brought people to the Three World Island for a stroll. In the end, this stroll … the losses were too great.
He also resented Yu Huan for being useless. How could the Three World Island take down such a big Baiyue Island so easily? If not for the fact that Baiyue Island was so weak, Giant Blade Island would not have been affected.
"Senior Brother!" Someone walked in. Zhao Yunqi, who was frowning, looked up and found that it was Mo Hong.
The two did not come from the same realm, but they both came from the Giant Blade Galaxy. They had been overseeing the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea for over a hundred years, so their relationship was quite good.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Yunqi asked casually.
Mo Hong handed over a jade booklet, "The Five Color Chamber of Commerce is holding an auction. This is the auction jade booklet they sent over. There are some interesting things on it."
Zhao Yunqi took it weakly, "There are many interesting things in this world … but where do we have the capital to participate in an auction?"
He opened the jade booklet and flipped through it casually. He did see some things that interested him, but when he remembered that he was embarrassingly short of money, he dismissed the idea of joining in the fun.
If he saw something good but couldn't buy it, then it was better not to see it.
After flipping through it for a while, Zhao Yunqi's expression brightened and he exclaimed, "Top Grade Spirit Refining Pills … twenty bottles?"
He tried to open his eyes wide to make sure that he did not see wrong, then looked up at Mo Hong with uncertainty. The latter nodded, indicating that there were indeed twenty bottles!
"How is this possible?" Zhao Yunqi's face was incredulous.
Top Grade Spirit Pills did not have any burden on cultivators. They had almost no pill poison and were extremely effective. Generally speaking, no matter what kind of Spirit Pill it was, as long as it was of the highest grade, it was something that could only be found by chance.
No matter how skilled an alchemist was, they could not refine top Grade Spirit Pills on their own initiative. Only when they were lucky would one or two Spirit Pills appear in a furnace.
Therefore, these top Grade Spirit Pills were usually collected by alchemists and sold only when they had a certain number.
For example, the Ten Thousand Elephant Chamber of Commerce had also auctioned top Grade Spirit Refining Pills, but they had never sold more than five bottles at a time. Usually, there were only three bottles, and sometimes there was only one bottle …
Twenty bottles of top Grade Spirit Refining Pills, what kind of concept was this? Zhao Yunqi felt that if he could get all twenty bottles of top Grade Spirit Refining Pills, he might even have a chance to see the secret of sunshine!
After all, at his level of cultivation, if he wanted to have a breakthrough, he would have to cultivate his Soul. Unfortunately, he had not made any progress in so many years with his own ability.
He had taken some similar Spirit Pills that could increase the power of his Soul, but those things all had pill poison. The more he took, the more obscure his Soul would be and the further he would be from sunshine.
Therefore, when he saw that there were twenty bottles of top Grade Spirit Refining Pills in this auction, Zhao Yunqi's lonely heart could not help but become active.
After pondering for a moment, he looked up at Mo Hong. "Junior Brother, I remember that fifty years ago, you obtained a handful of Skyheart Sand, right?"
That thing was very valuable. Mo Hong had always wanted to find someone to help refine it into a magic weapon, but unfortunately, he could not find the supplementary materials.
Mo Hong immediately became alert. "Senior Brother, what do you want to do?"
Zhao Yunqi smiled. "Junior Brother, we have known each other for many years. We have gone through hardships and trials together. Thirty years ago, when you were seriously injured, it was me who took care of you day and night …"
Mo Hong's face fell. If he had known this would happen, he would not have brought the jade booklet over!
The Five Color Merchant Guild placed a lot of importance on the auction. This was not only to promote the Three World Island, it was also to promote the Three World Island's branch. Hence, as long as the spiritual islands had some reputation, they would send invitations and auction jade brochures to them.
For this auction, the Five-Color Merchant Guild had indeed brought over many rare goods. However, what attracted the most cultivators were the twenty bottles of top Grade Spirit Refining Pills!
Which late-stage Moon Jade Realm cultivator did not need these things?
Which mid-stage Spiritual Island did not have late-stage Moon Jade Realm cultivators?
Generally speaking, these items were rarely put up for sale. This was because their own cultivators had a need for them, not to mention taking out so many at once.
Therefore, for many late-stage Moon Jade Realm cultivators who were qualified, this was not just twenty bottles of top Grade Spirit Refining Pills. It was also a chance to strive for sunshine.
No one was willing to miss this opportunity!
When the Five-Color Merchant Guild distributed the jade booklets, the entire Wanxiang Sea was in an uproar. For a time, countless pairs of eyes were focused on the Three World Island, waiting for the day when the auction truly began.
At the same time, in a bamboo building where the cultivators of the Three World Island were stationed, Lu Ye's true body and clone both went to work. His expression was numb as he began to refine the Twin Qi Linking Formation Disk.
With his current cultivation level, refining this thing was extremely easy. He had plenty of materials. He repeated the process over and over again, and the formation disks were formed one by one.
Although the Three World Island's situation had completely opened up, and as long as they maintained the situation in the future, they would not have to worry about income. However, both Lao Tang and Luan Xiaoe felt that the Three World Island should have their own business instead of relying purely on the rent from the shops.
Therefore, after a meeting between the Moon Jade Realm cultivators, the Three World Island decided to open two shops of their own.
