Is there a discount for large quantities?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he did not lack spirit stones, Ye Qingxuan still saved whenever possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Ye Qingxuan bargain, the woman opposite him smiled faintly and replied evasively: \"Distinguished guest, you are joking. We sell this product in large quantities at a small profit, so no discount is possible!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingxuan looked at her meaningfully: \"I want one billion square meters of bricks. Give me a ten percent discount. If you agree, I will purchase from you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Ye Qingxuan's words, the beautiful woman was first surprised, then somewhat hesitant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment of silence, she finally spoke:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Distinguished guest, please wait. I will be back shortly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said that, she walked toward the rear of the Treasure Pavilion hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching her leave, Ye Qingxuan felt somewhat bored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One billion square meters of bricks at two low-grade spirit stones per square is actually worth only two billion low-grade spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Converted to high-grade spirit stones, that is merely two thousand high-grade spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with a ten percent discount, it would only save Ye Qingxuan two hundred high-grade spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Given Ye Qingxuan's current volume of spirit stones, two hundred high-grade spirit stones are actually optional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bargaining was just a whim on his part.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the other party disagreed, Ye Qingxuan would not leave to waste time finding another place to purchase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small courtyard behind the Treasure Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman who had received Ye Qingxuan arrived in the courtyard and respectfully addressed the back of a middle-aged man in green robes standing with his hands behind his back:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pavilion Master, a client wishes to purchase one billion square meters of city-casting materials and requests a ten percent discount. Is this permissible?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This middle-aged man was Bai Xuanli, the Pavilion Master of the Huangfeng City branch of the Treasure Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing his subordinate's words, Bai Xuanli showed slight interest: \"One billion city-casting materials? That is quite ambitious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waved his hand toward the rear and said: \"Agree to his request. I want to see what kind of power dares to build such a large city.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After receiving Bai Xuanli's approval, the woman who had been there earlier responded excitedly: \"Yes, Pavilion Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this deal went through, she could earn a commission of over one hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For her, who was only at the Foundation Establishment realm, this was undoubtedly a huge sum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After she left, Bai Xuanli turned around, his eyes swirling with starlight, and pondered slightly: \"Which power dares to open a new city near Huangfeng City?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After receiving approval from the Pavilion Master of the Treasure Pavilion branch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingxuan quickly purchased one billion square meters of bricks for 1.8 billion low-grade spirit stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the color of the bricks, Ye Qingxuan chose dark yellow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingxuan did not keep the saved 200 million low-grade spirit stones; instead, he directly purchased some mundane wood and refined iron at the Treasure Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When building a new large city, these things would surely be useful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingxuan did not want to make another trip later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After obtaining the items, Ye Qingxuan left Huangfeng City and returned to Qingguang City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, the 1,080 array bases would still take about three years to refine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the array bases were fully refined, Ye Qingxuan did not intend to act against Wanling Mountain prematurely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the bricks, wood, and refined iron purchased this time could be refined in advance, turning these items into large-scale components.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When building the city later, the speed would be much faster. After returning to Qingguang City, Ye Qingxuan summoned Zhou Qingguang:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Summon all cultivators in the city. I have matters to assign.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Young Master!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Zhou Qingguang's summons, the cultivators remaining in the city quickly gathered and arrived at the City Lord's Mansion of Qingguang City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the Beast Tide incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fewer than two thousand cultivators remained in Qingguang City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, there was only one Jin Dan realm cultivator, Zhou Qingguang; eighteen Purple Mansion realm cultivators; and 236 Foundation Establishment realm cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest were all at the Qi Refining realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of these people, 1,680 were members of the Qingguang City Guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very few loose cultivators remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the cultivators gathered before him, Ye Qingxuan spoke:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am preparing to cast a new city. Later, at least seventy percent of the people in Qingguang City will migrate to the new city.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now there is a task I need to assign to you. Completing the task will earn you contribution points.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Contribution points can be used to rent high-grade caves in the new city or exchange for cultivation resources.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, Ye Qingxuan took out a storage ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a wave of his hand, a light screen instantly coalesced in the air; bricks, timber, and refined iron from within the storage ring floated up one by one upon the screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Refining these materials into city components is the task you must complete.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For every ten square units of components refined, you will earn ten contribution points; one contribution point is equivalent in value to one low-grade spirit stone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Refining mundane materials is an extremely effortless matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a Qi Refining early-stage cultivator could easily refine over a thousand square units of components in a day, let alone Foundation Establishment and Purple Mansion realm cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In ordinary times, these cultivators could not find such a good job.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This task was also Ye Qingxuan's way of acknowledging that these cultivators were willing to stay and join his ranks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small benefit specially given to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having finished speaking, Ye Qingxuan looked around and asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you have any objections?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the hall instantly fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, they looked at each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long while, Li Yuan, a Foundation Establishment loose cultivator who had previously decided to stay in Qingguang City, raised his hand nervously and asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"City Lord, how far is the new city from Qingguang City? With so many people to relocate, could it be too dangerous?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the day of the Beast Tide, Ye Qingxuan had already taken control of Qingguang City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, in the eyes of other cultivators, Ye Qingxuan was now the City Lord of Qingguang City, and the title used naturally reflected that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the question Li Yuan asked, everyone in the hall turned their gaze toward Ye Qingxuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Zhou Qingguang was no exception; he too wanted to know where exactly Ye Qingxuan had chosen to establish the new city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The question Li Yuan asked was what everyone in the hall wanted to know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among these people, some chose to stay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides being unable to find a better place to settle, many more stayed because they had mortal family members in Qingguang City whom they cared for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If relocating to a better place allowed them to move their families along with them, they would not have strong objections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if the relocation site was too far and the journey would encounter unpredictable dangers, they would naturally feel great resistance in their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the gaze of everyone in the hall, Ye Qingxuan knew what they were worried about, so he smiled lightly and said, \"Rest assured! At that time, I will set up a large-scale teleportation array; there will be no need to migrate on foot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for the location of the new city, it will remain confidential for now; in any case, it will not disappoint you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teleportation array?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing that a teleportation array would be set up, everyone in the hall's eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a teleportation array, they could return to Qingguang City at any time, and their resistance instantly vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding the new city Ye Qingxuan mentioned, these cultivators also began to feel anticipation in their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of this chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1466,"2026-06-12T14:26:54.351Z",1,"Qwen3.5 122B","43e68941a913b528888711642e37c823b270ac436e394452f8a9b85a66b53936","eternal-cultivation-starting-from-the-blessed-cu-chapter-178","eternal-cultivation-starting-from-the-blessed-cu-chapter-176",660,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Feternal-cultivation-starting-from-the-blessed-cu-cover.jpg"]
