    Chapter 567: Development

    Chen Siyuan is an Integration stage cultivator.

    This time, he, along with his partner and children, was teleported to the Jade Kun Realm.

    “Sweetheart, I heard there’s a batch of water spiritual fruit seeds available for just one hundred low-grade immortal essence stones each. Do you think we should plant water spiritual fruits? I believe it’ll be very profitable,” Chen Siyuan discussed with his wife.

    After arriving in the Jade Kun Realm, the immortals there allocated a large piece of land to their close-knit family group, which was ideal for planting spiritual objects.

    Hearing Chen Siyuan’s words, his wife replied, “Didn’t we agree to plant green spirit flowers?”

    “But too many people are planting green spirit flowers, and although they have a short harvest period, they are too cheap. In a good yield scenario, one acre can only earn over one hundred low-grade immortal essence stones in a hundred years; it’s not as valuable as water spiritual fruit.”

    “Although the harvest time for water spiritual fruit takes five hundred years, its grade is higher. Each one can sell for over three hundred low-grade immortal essence stones. You can plant about three plants per acre, and each can yield an average of ten fruits. So, in five hundred years, one acre can earn three thousand low-grade immortal essence stones. Averaging over a hundred years, that’s six hundred low-grade immortal essence stones, which is six times more than planting green spirit flowers.”

    “But the harvest period for water spiritual fruit is too long—five hundred years! If something goes wrong during that time, we’d be at a huge loss,” Chen Siyuan’s wife still hesitated.

    “Why not ask the kids? Let’s see what they want to plant,” Chen Siyuan suggested to his wife.

    “Sounds good.”

    Soon, Chen Siyuan called over his several children.

    “Dad, Mom, what’s the point of debating this? We have so much land; let’s plant half green spirit flowers and half water spiritual fruits!” Chen Siyuan’s son said.

    “That sounds good to me!” Chen Siyuan looked at his wife.

    “I think that works too.”

    “Then you should go buy the seeds tomorrow,” Chen Siyuan’s wife said.

    “Let’s go now! I’m worried the seeds will sell out,” Chen Siyuan responded eagerly.

    Without delay, Chen Siyuan hurried off.

    A thousand miles away, there was a floating city.

    When Chen Siyuan arrived outside the floating city, he queued for several minutes before entering through the formation passage.

    Once inside the city, Chen Siyuan made a beeline for the wholesale market for immortal seeds in Qianling Prefecture.

    In the close-knit family group chat,

    At this moment, it had turned into a bustling marketplace.

    【Li Xiao: Selling a batch of third-tier Green Spirit Flowers at just one thousand high-quality immortal essence stones per plant…】

    【Ye Jian: Seeking to purchase a batch of fourth-tier Yungshen Tea seeds…】

    【He Chengtian: Looking to buy a batch of Illusionary Fruits; open to negotiation…】

    【Luoyi Yi: Seeking trading opportunities; ten high-quality immortal essence stones each…】

    The group was filled with various trade information.

    This situation had existed for countless years.

    However, in recent centuries, the number of transactions had dramatically increased.

    The reason was that recently, Li Xiaojun and Yan Qingling had acquired a small thousand world, gaining a large amount of resources and the need for many immortal seeds.

    Such a situation naturally led to a surge in transactions.

    Of course, as the number of transactions increased, the trading opportunities also rose significantly.

    Li Xiaojun had set a limit of ten trading opportunities per year for all his children, which could not be accumulated or unused.

    This meant that many people did not have enough trading opportunities.

    However, this also allowed many children with lower cultivation levels to earn more cultivation resources using their trading opportunities.

    Previously, a trading opportunity was only worth one hundred low-grade immortal essence stones.

    But now, a trading opportunity had skyrocketed to a value of ten high-quality immortal essence stones, increasing its worth a thousand times.

    In other words, as long as they were Li Xiaojun’s children, they could earn at least one hundred high-quality immortal essence stones each year without doing anything.

    The reason it was one hundred high-quality immortal essence stones was that Li Xiaojun canceled the deduction of trading opportunities from the number of transactions.

    This meant that trading “trading opportunities” did not deduct from the number of transactions.

    One hundred high-quality immortal essence stones equaled ten thousand medium-grade immortal essence stones or one hundred thousand low-grade immortal essence stones.

    Thus, one trading opportunity was worth a hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones.

    Of course, the high price of trading opportunities was mainly because most of Li Xiaojun’s children had surpassed the Heavenly Immortal realm.

    The items they traded were also of very high value.

    Moreover, with the frequent transactions, ten trading opportunities per person each year were simply not enough.

    This created a strong demand for trading opportunities.

    As a result, the price of trading opportunities soared to its current level.

    Such conditions meant that Li Xiaojun’s younger children, who had lower cultivation levels, did not have to worry about cultivation resources.

    For example, Li Xiaojun’s daughter Yunxi, who is currently his youngest daughter, could earn hundreds of thousands of low-grade immortal essence stones every year just by selling trading opportunities.

    Even after providing cultivation resources for her mother Yun Lan, she still had surplus resources.

    In the floating city,

    Ye Jian cheerfully introduced the prices and values of various seeds to the customers.

    Ye Jian is currently at the early stage of the Heavenly Immortal realm.

    She took the initiative to come here this time.

    Her goal is, of course, to earn cultivation resources.

    Because there were so many people, representing various trades, she ended up in the seed wholesale business.

    In every major prefectural city in the Jade Kun Realm, she had opened a seed shop, and each shop employed staff.

    Today, after completing her cultivation session, she came to inspect the shop in Qianling Prefecture.

    Just as Ye Jian arrived in Qianling City, an unexpected figure appeared beside her.

    “Dad! What brings you here to visit me?” Ye Jian happily asked Li Xiaojun.

    “Hmm, I have some free time, so I thought I would take a look around,” Li Xiaojun said with a smile to his daughter.

    Ye Jian was the first daughter to help Li Xiaojun obtain the Creation Jade Plate fragments.

    Because of this, Li Xiaojun gave her a substantial amount of cultivation resources.

    “How is your development here?” Li Xiaojun asked his daughter.

    “I’m doing well. I am doing some seed business here and have earned some resources,” Ye Jian replied with a smile and a nod.

    “Oh, seed business? What kind of seeds?” Li Xiaojun inquired.

    “It’s just some seeds of spiritual plants. Recently, there have been many people doing large developments, and their demand for immortal seeds is particularly high. So, I decided to do some seed business,” Ye Jian explained.

    “Oh, that means your business is doing well,” Li Xiaojun nodded.

    “I was just about to check on my shop. Dad, do you want to come with me?” Ye Jian invited Li Xiaojun.

    “Sure,” Li Xiaojun replied with a nod.

    Currently, Yan Qingling was working hard to calculate the location of the middle thousand world.

    Li Xiaojun had been alchemizing for over a hundred years, which made him somewhat tired, so he came out for some fresh air.

    Soon, Li Xiaojun followed Ye Jian to a wholesale market for immortal seeds.

    This market was large, with dozens of shops selling various seeds.

    “Dad, actually, this whole wholesale market for immortal seeds is mine,” Ye Jian said to Li Xiaojun with a smile.

    Hearing this, Li Xiaojun smiled back.

    “It seems like there’s competition, but it’s actually a monopoly,” Li Xiaojun said with a grin.

    “Yeah, if the competition is too fierce, the profits will shrink.”

    “What? The water spiritual fruit seeds are sold out? Weren’t there plenty before…?”

    Just as they were strolling through the wholesale market for immortal seeds, a loud questioning voice suddenly reached Li Xiaojun’s ears.

    Li Xiaojun turned his head and exclaimed, “Oh? Isn’t that Chen Siyuan!”

    Chen Siyuan was a junior with whom Li Xiaojun had interacted on Earth.

    He didn’t expect to see him here as well.

    Li Xiaojun had pulled people into this small thousand world, and it was the system that managed the arrivals.

    So he was not clear about who exactly had come.
