"There's more!" She pulled out the Land-clearing Jade Talisman with an air of mystery, "Do you know what this is?"

"What?" Xian'er didn't know.

Jiang Xiaoyue was also clueless.

"This is a Land-clearing Jade Talisman issued by the Seven Great Sects. With it, you're allowed to clear land legally.

"Whether it's staking a claim on Moon Lake or building a marketplace in the wild forests, it will be recognized by the Seven Great Sects. You just have to pay seventy percent in taxes, and they'll send people to protect the marketplace's safety!"

"Seventy percent? That much?" Xian'er exclaimed in surprise.

"Unless we reach the Foundation Establishment Stage and have enough money to buy an Array... No, wait!" Xu Ni suddenly jumped up.

She screamed, "We have a senior, a senior who is the strongest array. We only need to deal with the Qi Refinement Realm!"

She jumped up, her chest bouncing clearly outlined by the Magic Robe.

"Xiaoyue! Xian'er! We're going to be rich!

"We can use the money we earn from reselling to build a marketplace. We'll set up our marketplace in the most dangerous place. Anyway, with the senior around, the Spirit Grass, Spiritual Ore, everything there will be ours!"

Jiang Xiaoyue and Xian'er were stunned.

Not just because of Xu Ni's wild thoughts, but because this plan was indeed feasible.

Many Great Demons reside in places abundant with Spiritual Energy, some even live right on top of Spirit Stone mines. Others might be afraid, but they aren't!

They only need to face the Qi Refinement Realm, and with the Golden Light Talisman, what is there to fear from the Qi Refinement Realm?

[...]

Li Changzhou never expected that, while on Earth he didn't have to work due to the value game, now with great divine skills, he'd be dragged out to do labor.

He wanted to change 'Foundation Establishment Stage action' to 'Golden Core Stage'.

"Senior, can you handle a Great Demon at the Golden Core Stage?" Xu Ni urgently asked.

Alas, forget it, keeping one's promise is paramount among his countless virtues.

[Do you know who you're talking to?]

[I am the Crownless God, the King of Black Fog, with a wave of my sleeve, I devour starlight as tall as ten thousand zhang.]

[The gods have limitations, but I am limitless.]

The three: "..."

"Senior," Xu Ni whispered, "I just want to know if you can defeat a Great Demon of the Golden Core Stage?"

Like playing music to a cow.

If Li Qianxia were here, she would have long since cheered, "Oni-chan, banzai," and then asked him for "rewards".

[How many divisions does the Golden Core Stage have? However many come, I'll kill them all.]

Xu Ni's excited expression disappeared, and she whispered to Jiang Xiaoyue, "Why do I feel insecure."

Jiang Xiaoyue wore a serious expression; even Xu Ni felt uncertain, so this matter is probably fake.

The senior can't handle the Golden Core Stage!

"Think long-term, think long-term!" she whispered.

Xu Ni nodded.

Xian'er clenched a branch tightly, her face flushed, it was so embarrassing!

The three of them hid their items and left the room.

The fishing was about to end, and many cultivators were about to return, it was the perfect time to gain insights.

On deck, many cultivators were holding fish guards. Storage Bags were expensive, even the lowest level ones cost 100 Spirit Stones; a farming cultivator like Jiang Xiaoyue could never afford them in their lifetime.

"White-scaled fish? Friend Fang is really lucky!"

"Just a fluke, just a fluke, hahaha!" Friend Fang couldn't contain himself and burst out laughing before finishing his sentence.

"This one," Xu Ni pointed through the crowd at a fish with white Scale Armor in the fish guard, saying to the other two, "It's worth 100 Spirit Stones!"

The three were staring enviously at the white-scaled fish when someone suddenly shouted, "Little Azure Dragon!"

A loach that looked remarkably like an Azure Dragon.

Spectators surrounded it three or four layers deep.

"How much is this?" Xian'er asked curiously.

Xu Ni shook her head, "I don't know either..."

"Friend, the Zhou Family offers 500 Spirit Stones."

"Liu Family 800 Spirit Stones!"

"Green Moon Sect 1000 Spirit Stones."

"Hiss—" The three... not just the three, but all the cultivators inhaled sharply.

Soon, a knowledgeable cultivator revealed the uses of the Little Azure Dragon, saying this loach breathes Spiritual Energy and excretes Spirit Crystals, essentially a chicken that lays golden eggs.

"Unfortunately, this Little Azure Dragon is too small; otherwise, it would produce Spirit Stones!"

"I heard that the Bright Moon Sect has three, all of which have taken life-extending elixirs and are now over 800 years old, producing 3 Top Grade Spirit Stones per day!"

One Top Grade Spirit Stone equals a thousand Middle Grade, equals one million Low Grade Spirit Stones!

One million!

Producing three per day, three million!

Xu Ni's eyes turned red.

"Let me calculate, let me calculate," Xian'er murmured, "One Spirit Crystal can be exchanged for ten thousand Silver, and one Low Grade Spirit Stone can be exchanged for ten Spirit Crystals..."

She finally realized that Liu Ren was nothing.

She killed Liu Ren to avenge Little Green, but she wouldn't go "unpunished" because the criminal would be Liu Ren.

Another cultivator whispered, "What are you envying for? A Nascent Soul ancestor requires a Top Grade Spirit Stone each month just to maintain mana, let alone for cultivation... If it's not three a day, even thirty wouldn't be enough!"

Descendants of Foundation Establishment families nodded.

Though they seem richer than Loose Cultivators, they know their own family affairs; the more they earn, the more they spend. A little carelessness, and they're in the red, needing budget cuts.

Foundation Establishment Stage has its own way of being poor, and a Nascent Soul ancestor has the challenges of a Nascent Soul ancestor, just like a three-year-old worries about kindergarten while adults worry more.

Xu Ni's eyes flickered, and she asked in a low voice, "Senior, how many Spirit Stones did you need for daily cultivation before?"

In the crowd, Xian'er clenched a tree branch tightly, a habit of hers.

[Let me calculate,] Li Changzhou wasn't sure, [I haven't seen Middle or Top Grade Spirit Stones, only calculating with Low Grade... One breath probably requires about a billion pieces]

...not having seen even Middle or Top Grade Spirit Stones, can he claim he needs a billion Low Grade Spirit Stones for one breath?

As expected, it's fake!

Li Changzhou meant breath, not breathing meditation.

Of course, the Primordial Divine Body doesn't need Spiritual Energy; the universe and everything in it can be absorbed as vital energy.
