Wednesday.
Because the store opened at 10 o 'clock, Mo Tiankong usually woke up at 8 or 9 o' clock. As long as it was a sunny day, the sunlight would naturally fill the entire courtyard.
Although it was not like facing the sea in spring, it still felt good to be able to see the sun as soon as he woke up.
Kicking the quilt, Mo Tiankong turned over and got out of bed. There were sounds coming from the courtyard. It should be because Ning Hanyue was practicing martial arts.
Compared to Mo Tiankong who ate and slept, there was no doubt that the martial artists in this world were very diligent.
After all, Ning Hanyue was a spoiled young lady. She had such strong self-control when it came to practicing martial arts. Other martial artists were eager to improve their status, wealth, and power through the improvement of their cultivation, so they must be more diligent.
"Morning."
Walking along the cobblestone path, he saw Ning Hanyue practicing martial arts.
"It's almost noon."
Ning Hanyue put away her long sword, rolled her eyes, and then went upstairs.
Mo Tiankong did not mind. The store's opening hours were only at this time. Why did she wake up so early? She had nothing to do.
He walked toward the store's lobby.
At 10 o 'clock sharp, the opening hours were over. The store's door opened automatically.
On the left and right side of the grocery store were two beast pens for demon pets. On the left and right side, there was a street of shops along the Miracle Square.
After the New Year, these shops had opened one after another. Although the rent of the shops was slightly more expensive, especially if one bought directly, it would be a sky-high price. However, the benefits were obvious. Every day, a large number of martial artists would come to the grocery store to buy things.
Then, along the way, there would always be a small number of martial artists who would come to the store to have a look. For the grocery store's daily visitors, even if it was a small number, it would bring a huge profit to these shops.
After all, the grocery store had a lot of items, but they were all very simple. For example, there was only one set of martial arts like the Eight Trigrams Saber Technique. As long as they avoided the same items as the store, there would always be something that the martial artists who came to the store needed.
For example, elixirs. After all, they were cheaper than Wangzai. Ordinary warriors would still buy them. Wangzai was already considered a luxury item. For example, sword techniques, staff techniques, and other martial techniques, there were more choices.
Moreover, from time to time, there would be some local tycoons among the martial artists who came to the store. Therefore, it was still very profitable to open a store next to the general store. The probability of encountering martial artists with spirit stones was also higher.
The higher the base, the higher the probability of selling something expensive. Sometimes, he could earn half a year's worth of profits. Why not?
So even if the prices of the surrounding shops were very high, they were still bought by quite a few powers. The Zhang and Ye Families didn't compete because they were high level members of Miracle City, otherwise who would be able to steal from them.
But the ones who snatched these spots were the large and small powers of Miracle City, so not counting the general stores, the items sold in these shops were considered high quality.
Therefore, this place was naturally popular. Because of the general stores, this place was very popular. Now that a series of shops and restaurants had been completed, it was almost a landmark of Miracle City.
On Miracle Square, there were people coming and going every day. The surrounding shops and general stores complemented each other. Every day, large amounts of martial artists would appear in this place.
Even the market in the inner city wouldn't be as popular as the general stores in Miracle Square.
One had to know that the inner city's bazaar had been changed. It had been slightly expanded, and it had become more formal. The conditions for entering the bazaar had also been raised. Apart from the large and small forces within the city, only a few trading companies could enter. Scattered businesses were not qualified to enter.
The main reason was because Miracle City was now a large trading city. With hundreds of trading companies entering, the flow of goods was no less than some of the markets in the imperial capital.
Of course, compared to the general stores in this area and the capacity of Miracle Square, there was no doubt that this place was more popular.
It wasn't much to say that it was the most popular place in Miracle City. 80% of the floating population that entered the city came for the general stores. It could be said that the general stores maintained the flow of people.
It was like a tourist attraction on earth. Every day, every month, every year, it would attract martial artists from far away.
Some of the martial artists that came even settled in Miracle City. This was the continuous flow of people, replenishing Miracle City's population.
Just based on reproduction, it would take several hundred years for Miracle City to fill up the entire city. If martial artists moved, that was the fastest way to increase the city's population.
In the beginning, Miracle City's threshold was very low. Land and other things were all sold for very low prices, but as more and more martial artists entered Miracle City, the threshold slowly became higher.
However, the main street had a high price from the beginning and this wouldn't change. The shops beside the general stores were the same.
Now that Miracle City had around half the population of a city like Yuan City, there was no rush. The remaining land and shops that hadn't been sold was a terrifying number.
Even like this, there were still quite a few powers that entered. There was potential. The general stores were here, the Antelope Mountain Range, the coastline, and other good conditions.
On the other hand, Miracle City was also on the right track. He didn't see Old Man Zhang being so free, going out to sea every day.
In the past two days, the Zhang Family had gone out to sea to set up a transmission array. Old Man Zhang didn't hide it, so the news had already appeared on the forum.
Mo Tiankong would always see some when he was free. Now that the map software had been updated, the powers that went out to sea were the focus of many martial artists. Miracle City's martial artists weren't idle either. Moreover, most of the soldiers in the garrison had bought Blue Planet Mobile Phones.
Adding in the influence of the Zhang Family, it was normal for many martial artists to read these posts. The popularity was still very high, especially since it was the first batch of powers that went out to sea.
At eight o 'clock in the evening, another day of business was almost over. The harvest was also quite good. Three more Armor Breaking Battleships were sold. Adding in the other items that the martial artists bought today, the turnover of around one hundred million spirit stones should be around.
The current turnover had exceeded Mo Tiankong's expectations. Originally, Mo Tiankong only wanted to make three hundred million spirit stones this month. Now, it had already exceeded three hundred million spirit stones.
Previously, it was almost two hundred million spirit stones. Adding in the two hundred million spirit stones that Yan Xiu bought, it was four hundred million spirit stones. Adding in the close to one hundred million spirit stones today, the interface showed a turnover of five hundred and seventy million spirit stones.
It wasn't far from six hundred million spirit stones. Of course, the increase in turnover was huge. Mo Tiankong didn't mind. Who would complain about having more spirit stones?
If he made one hundred and thirty million spirit stones this month, he might be able to increase his cultivation level by one stage in the Emperor Realm.
If he increased his cultivation level by ten times, it would be one hundred million spirit stones. Because the turnover rule was nine to one, it would be one billion spirit stones to increase his cultivation level by one stage.
If he could really make that much profit this month, he would be able to increase his cultivation level by one stage in the Martial Emperor Realm. Of course, it wouldn't be easy.
Although there were a few battleships being sold every day, at this rate, it wouldn't be enough by the end of the month. Plus, it wasn't very stable. There wouldn't be so many battleships being sold every day.
Now, it was still five hundred million spirit stones. It was still a bit far from reaching one hundred and thirty million spirit stones. Mo Tiankong didn't dwell on this problem. It would be best if he could reach it, but it didn't matter if he couldn't.
After all, reaching the Martial Emperor Realm was like a slow race. Mo Tiankong was more or less mentally prepared. He wasn't in a hurry to reach the Martial Emperor Realm in one month. Anyway, he would definitely reach the Martial Emperor Realm by the end of the month.
This was enough. After working hard for so long, his cultivation level was finally at the peak of the Eastern Xuan Domain. Mo Tiankong's cultivation wasn't at the peak of the Eastern Xuan Domain yet.
There were many Venerable Realm experts in each Empire. It was said that the Hundred Tribes Empire had thousands of Venerable Realm experts. Other Empires, such as the Aquamarine Empire, also had hundreds of Venerable Realm experts.
However, the number of Martial Emperors decreased a lot. Compared to the number of Martial Emperors, the number of Martial Emperors was only 9.90% compared to 0.01% of the Martial Emperors on the surface of the empire.
Even if they were only on the same level, the difference was huge. Of course, the reason was also related to the barrenness of the Eastern Xuan Region. If it was like the Central Xuan Region, perhaps there would already be several Saints.
Mo Tiankong thought so. There were very few Martial Emperors in the Eastern Xuan Domain. Even the Empire couldn't cultivate many of them. From this, it could be seen that the Eastern Xuan Domain was lacking in resources. Otherwise, how could there be so many Saints in the Central Xuan Domain? There must be a lot of resources and a good cultivation environment.
So, in the end, it was still a matter of resources. Talent wasn't the only thing on the path of cultivation.
It was just a process of accumulating cultivation. The higher the cultivation, the slower the speed. If there were a lot of resources, one could cross this step very quickly. No matter how bad the talent was, there would always be a group of people who would come out if there were many of them.
Moreover, the environment could still influence the process. There were many heavenly materials and earthly treasures from the moment one was born to purify the body. How could one's talent be bad?
Moreover, because there were many experts in the Central Xuan Domain, the territory was also divided. It wasn't that Yan Qing and the others didn't want to seek an opportunity to break through, but they didn't have any territory.
If Yan Qing and the others went, it would be equivalent to snatching the resources of the Central Xuan Domain. So, how could they share a piece of the cake with their own forces? Moreover, the other party's cultivation was higher than theirs.
If they went, they would be sending their heads to their deaths. So, they had to obediently cultivate in their own territory.
There were many Martial Emperors in the Eastern, Western, Southern, and Southern Xuan Domains, and perhaps even Saints. But even if they added together, they still wouldn't be able to fight against the Central Xuan Domain. So there was no way around it. They still couldn't enter.
The most important thing was that some of the resources were in the hands of the various superpowers. Even if they wanted to take them, they couldn't. So entering the Central Xuan Domain didn't mean they could increase their cultivation. It was better to be a boss in their own territory.
That way, they wouldn't have to be hired thugs in the Central Xuan Domain. Of course, there were still some martial artists who were willing. Cultivation was also a lifespan. Even Saints couldn't achieve eternal life. They could only live a bit longer.
So there were some experts past their prime who were willing to be hired thugs in exchange for resources. They hoped they could break through and increase their lifespan.
At ten o 'clock, the shop closed.
After sending off Luo Ruo, Mo Tiankong returned to his starry sky room.
"Ruyi, search the islands within five thousand nautical miles of Miracle City."
Mo Tiankong wasn't doing this on a whim. He also wasn't doing this for the sake of updating the map. He was just a bit bored.
During this period of time, because of the island, the map, and so on, the shop's turnover was also on the right track. Therefore, Mo Tiankong was also preparing to explore. Although there were a lot of free items every week, it was not a lot compared to what Mo Tiankong used.
The free item he received every week was an Armor Breaking Battleship. It could be sold in a day. He might as well use the rest of the time to go out to sea and collect some resources to sell.
Thirty million spirit stones per week. That was 120 million spirit stones per month. If he wanted to increase the cultivation of Auspicious, he would need a year. Moreover, after entering the Sage Realm, the time needed would be ten times faster.
Mo Tiankong was also planning for the future. Although the shop was very safe, he still needed a bodyguard when he went out. Auspicious was very suitable. She was loyal and wouldn't betray him. No matter what kind of trump card she had, it wasn't as good as Auspicious's cultivation. Therefore, Auspicious's cultivation must be increased. But she needed spirit stones, a lot of spirit stones.
So the problem was that if he relied on the weekly salary from the System, when would he be able to increase Auspicious's cultivation? Therefore, he had to find something to make money.
The island wasn't something that belonged to anyone. The Zhang and Tang family could go there. He could also go there. Moreover, he could earn spirit stones faster. Mo Tiankong naturally wouldn't go to a small island.
The resources were limited, and there was no need to waste time. He was alone, and it would take a long time for him to mine the spirit stone veins. Therefore, he should focus on some of the resources on the island, such as the high-grade heavenly treasures. One of them could be sold for a lot of spirit stones.
Therefore, the requirements for the island were higher. He might as well use Auspicious to deal with it. As for the large islands, some of them were as big as the Empire. One could imagine what kind of demon beasts would be on them.
Therefore, the most suitable place for him was a medium-sized island. Mo Tiankong was mainly looking for medium-sized islands. Moreover, the islands couldn't be too far away. If he went too deep into the Chaotic Sea, then there would be pressure from the sea beasts.
It wasn't just the problem of the demon beasts on the island. If he encountered some powerful sea beasts, then he would either have to spend money or attract more of them.
"Master, a medium-sized island has been found. It is 3200 nautical miles away from the coastline. The area of the island is about 6000 square kilometers. Do you want to mark it?"
"Mark it and send it to my mobile phone map."
