The Immortal Seed of the Xu Family greatly satisfied the Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Qingzhu Sword Sect.
Next, it was time to visit the Yang Family.
However, the Yang Family clearly didn't have Immortal Seeds of such high quality.
After Yang Tian brought out a few children, they all had a Four Spiritual Root Aptitude, with only one having a Three Spiritual Root.
This made the other party shake his head repeatedly.
In the end, only the five Immortal Seeds from the Xu Family were taken away.
After the two Foundation Establishment Cultivators departed, Xu Changge directly said to Su Bai:
"Xiaobai, come with your Elder sister for a walk now."
"Okay."
Su Bai didn't ask what they were going out for.
Whatever Xu Changge said, she would only agree with both hands.
If Su Bai were also a Foundation Establishment Cultivator at this moment, would Xu Changge ask Su Bai to entertain the Qingzhu Sword Sect? She wouldn't agree.
The two left Wumu Island.
First, they visited Tianxing Island, the Song Family.
They informed them of the Qingzhu Sword Sect's two Foundation Establishment Cultivators' intentions.
They hinted to this Foundation Establishment Family that since the Qingzhu Sword Sect had arrived, if they wanted to build a relationship with the Sect, they should prepare well.
When the Sect comes again to recruit Immortal Seeds, they should have their junior Family members ready.
Even if the junior goes to the Qingzhu Sword Sect and is cultivated by the Sect from a young age, and their relationship with the Family fades when they grow up, they will still have a connection with the Sect after all.
It could be considered having a backer.
In the future, anyone who truly wants to harm their Family would have to consider who stands behind them.
Moreover, Xu Changge wasn't just telling them about this one matter this time.
There was one more thing to do, which was to establish a Market.
Centered on the forces of these Foundation Establishment Families in the Xingluo Archipelago, a Loose Cultivator Market would be opened.
It would be convenient for everyone to communicate with each other, and at the same time, sell each Family's services.
There would be no need to travel far, saving time and effort.
If only a few Foundation Establishment Families were to establish a Market, it would ultimately only be a small Market.
Since Xu Changge proposed it, she naturally wanted to make it larger.
At least it should become the largest Market in the entire Xingluo Archipelago, and even the entire Southwest Sea.
Ultimately, it would surpass Tianyun City and become a Loose Cultivator Holy Land.
Of course, that was a bit far off.
However, Xu Changge had confidence because the Six Upper Sects would come to help her.
The Six Upper Sects would send their Sect Disciples to reside in Xingluo Market, and every ten years, they would hold an Immortal Ascension Convention.
Any Cultivator under twenty years old could participate, and those who qualified would be recruited into the Sect.
Just this point alone would be enough to make Xingluo Market experience a Loose Cultivator grand event every ten years!
This was also the reason Xu Changge believed Xingluo Market could rise.
The Six Major Sects recruiting externally was full of appeal to Loose Cultivators.
This was also an attempt by the Six Major Sects.
In the past, they would either recruit within their affiliated Families or send Disciples out to select qualified Immortal Seeds.
Now, actively recruiting people was considered unprecedented.
Of course, it was also because the previous methods of the Sect recruiting Disciples, where evil Cultivator infiltrators appeared among the Disciples in the Zhenyi Secret Realm, made those Elders feel angry.
In the past, the Sect treated its Disciples well, and being betrayed was a first.
Fortunately, it was discovered early.
After hearing that the Xingluo Archipelago was going to open a Market, Su Bai didn't have much of a reaction.
She didn't understand how important this matter was.
But while Xu Changge and the heads of several Foundation Establishment Families were discussing, Su Bai heard how much Spirit Stones could be earned by opening a Market.
A Market would definitely be located on a Spiritual Vein.
Then, Immortal Caves and shops would inevitably be set up.
Just the rental fees for Immortal Caves and shops could earn hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones annually, for free.
This was only when the Market first opened; after a long time, when Cultivators from all corners of the world were attracted by the grand event of the Six Major Sects recruiting Disciples, the rental fees could still increase, and then millions of Spirit Stones would be considered little.
Then there was opening shops to sell things.
Medicinal Pills, Magical Artifacts, just put them there, and a large number of Loose Cultivators would come to patronize your business.
Even opening a restaurant would be a great profit.
Qi Refining Cultivators, who could only eat Bigu Pills for sustenance, also wanted to eat Spiritual Rice and Spiritual Wine.
Hearing the beautiful vision Xu Changge described, Su Bai was reminded of the Immortal Cave she once rented in Tianyun City.
She couldn't help but nod.
It was indeed profitable.
That Immortal Cave only had a small garden pond, adorned with the simplest Spiritual Flowers and Spiritual Plants, and then equipped with an Invisibility Formation and a Gathering Spirit Array.
The minimum rental period was ten years, and it directly cost nearly three thousand Spirit Stones.
Most Loose Cultivators who went to Tianyun City were there for Foundation Establishment Opportunities.
They hoped to buy Foundation Establishment Spiritual Items at the auction, whether it was Tianling Fruit or second-tier demon cores.
According to Xu Changge, with the Six Upper Sects supporting them, their Xingluo Market would also be able to auction Foundation Establishment Spirit Medicine in the future.
In Xu Changge's words, a pie was drawn so big and fragrant that many people were immediately tempted.
Even after Xu Changge revealed the plan for Xingluo Market, many Foundation Establishment Families wished they could be Xu Changge's dogs, serving her diligently and clearing all obstacles for her.
After all, if what Xu Changge said was true, then once they joined this Xingluo Market, their Family prospering for hundreds of years more would not be a dream.
In their location, the Xingluo Archipelago, it was a remote and desolate place, neither here nor there.
The nearest Loose Cultivator Market was tens of thousands of kilometers away.
A Cultivator at the Qi Refining Peak would take at least three months to fly there.
No one could guarantee that after the Old Ancestor of the Family died, another Foundation Establishment Cultivator could still emerge.
But as long as they got on board with Xingluo Market, they wouldn't have to worry about resource issues in the future.
It would definitely ensure that their Family would produce a Foundation Establishment Cultivator for generations.
With such temptation, they were naturally moved.
One must know that not long ago, they also moonlighted as pirates and were robber cultivators.
It was only after Xu Changge returned that they became a little more honest.
But if they didn't go out to be robber cultivators, with only so many resources, how would they allocate them among the Family members?
"Island Master Xu, this is truly good news!" Song Zhe said with a chuckle, pouring Xu Changge a cup of tea.
Xu Changge picked up the teacup, took a light sip, her eyes smiling, and shook her head slightly.
"Family Head Song, you are too optimistic. This is just a plan. You must know that opening a Market requires a Spiritual Vein, and it must be chosen in a good location, convenient for all Loose Cultivators to come here."
"The Xingluo Archipelago is all islands. Even on the coastal land, good places have long been occupied. It's not that easy to implement."
At the end, Xu Changge expressed some regret.
"This Upper Sect also told me about this matter because they saw that I recently reached Foundation Establishment and have good Aptitude."
"But they have so many affiliated Families under them; they don't necessarily have to choose my Xu Family, nor do they have to choose to open a Market in this Xingluo Archipelago."
Xu Changge's tone was a bit humble, somewhat lost in thought, as if she wasn't optimistic about this matter.
After chatting with Song Zhe for a couple more sentences, she proactively bid farewell.
After Xu Changge and Su Bai left the Song Family, Su Bai looked back at Song Zhe, who had come out to see them off.
This Old Ancestor of the Song Family was beaming with smiles, showing a fawning expression, which made Su Bai scratch her head.
She knew why Xu Changge had said those things just now.
It meant that the good places with Spiritual Veins in the Xingluo Archipelago, and even the Southwest Sea, were already taken.
If they wanted to open a Market, someone would have to voluntarily leave.
But Xu Changge merely mentioned this matter; she wouldn't actively participate.
If these Foundation Establishment Old Ancestors had good enough foresight, they should know what to do next.
