Chapter 209: Thirty Years

Time slips away, days and nights weave like a shuttle.

In the blink of an eye, thirty years have passed since the last Dongxuan Auction ended.

Thirty years.

Ye Qingxuan's Dongxuan Academy has cultivated many talents.

Besides a large number of Qi Refining cultivators, there are also many First-Grade Alchemists, Artifact Refiners, Talisman Crafters, and Array Masters.

Although their realms and mastery of the Four Arts of Cultivation are still very low.

This is already a very good start.

As long as Dongxuan City is given enough time, it can produce a steady stream of foundational talents for Ye Qingxuan.

Sooner or later.

Ye Qingxuan can use these talents to build his own production base, no longer restricted by others, achieving true self-sufficiency.

At this stage, many products sold by Ye Qingxuan are refined through the various channels of the Tianfu Shops.

If one day, these channels join forces to curb the development of the Tianfu Shops.

Then all of Ye Qingxuan's industries would suffer significant blows.

The probability of this situation occurring is small, but Ye Qingxuan must guard against it.

The Dongxuan Academy is merely a idle piece placed by Ye Qingxuan; it does not require much of his effort, yet it can provide him with a steady stream of foundational talents.

Perhaps one day in the future, these talents will bring him tremendous surprises.

For Ye Qingxuan, what is there not to be happy about?

Besides these cultivators cultivated by Dongxuan City itself.

Dongxuan City has also attracted many external cultivators to settle there.

Over the past thirty years, due to the strict enforcement of the Dongxuan Laws, Dongxuan City's reputation outside has grown increasingly better.

Coupled with the impressive strength displayed by Dongxuan City and the permanent property rights within the city.

Especially since obtaining these permanent property rights does not require serving Dongxuan City.

This greatly stimulated the desire of external cultivators to purchase houses in Dongxuan City.

Although the high housing prices in Dongxuan City have deterred many rogue cultivators.

But with a larger base of cultivators wanting to buy, some among them suddenly become wealthy and have no lack of money.

Therefore, during these thirty years, many cultivators have come to Dongxuan City to purchase residential buildings and small courtyards.

However, very few people have purchased the various-grade grotto-heavens within Dongxuan City.

For cultivators, purchasing a First-Grade grotto-heaven offers very poor assistance to their cultivation, with effects hardly different from the mundane district of Dongxuan City.

After the Spirit Gathering Array of Dongxuan City has operated for thirty years.

The concentration of spiritual energy in the mundane district of Dongxuan City is no worse than that within a First-Grade grotto-heaven.

Therefore, purchasing a First-Grade grotto-heaven is not cost-effective for them.

As for Second and Third-Grade grotto-heavens, they cannot afford them, or cannot bring themselves to take such a desperate gamble.

All these reasons have led to the situation after thirty years.

Within the mundane district of Dongxuan City, hundreds of external cultivators now live mixed with the mundane residents of Dongxuan City.

However, under the suppression of the Dongxuan Laws.

The two sides get along very harmoniously.

Although these cultivators are unwilling to join Dongxuan City and lose their freedom.

Living in Dongxuan City, they inevitably have to accept various missions issued by Dongxuan City to obtain contribution points.

In this way, they are indirectly serving Dongxuan City.

Besides these external cultivators settled in Dongxuan City.

Every day, thousands of highly mobile external cultivators enter Dongxuan City within the Dongxuan Market.

With more cultivators entering Dongxuan City, the benefits they bring to the city naturally increase correspondingly. Over the past thirty years, Dongxuan City's revenue has been steadily rising.

To this day, the daily average profit of Dongxuan City has reached 100, 00 High-Grade Spirit Stones.

This figure is comparable to, or even slightly exceeds, that of the Tianfu Shops within the Xuantian Sect. It can be said that Dongxuan City is the first city under Ye Qingxuan's command to generate revenue exceeding the Tianfu Shops.

Since the formula for the Nuclear Explosion Pill spread across the five regions of the Earth Mystery Realm.

The sales of Nuclear Explosion Pills by the Tianfu Shops have been somewhat affected, with overall profits declining; the daily average profit is now less than 100, 00 High-Grade Spirit Stones.

Fortunately, the production of Nuclear Explosion Pills is limited by Demon Cores, so external output has not been able to rise.

Therefore, although the Nuclear Explosion Pills sold outside have impacted the Tianfu Shops' market share, the effect is not significant.

Moreover, Ye Qingxuan has now opened up the market in the Dongji Domain, allowing him to continuously acquire Demon Cores.

From now on, Ye Qingxuan no longer needs to worry about Demon Cores below the Fifth Grade or various low-grade raw materials.

So far, the supply of Nuclear Explosion Pills below the Fifth Grade for the Tianfu Shops, the Mysterious Mall, and Dongxuan City under his command is very sufficient.

Over these thirty years in Dongxuan City.

After an initial period of vigorous development in all aspects, it has now entered a plateau phase.

In the short term, revenue will not see significant growth.

Over the past thirty years, Ye Qingxuan has collected most types of spirit mines in the Xingluo Province.

Among them, the vast majority of spirit mines were contributed by Bai Qing'an alone.

To obtain the Enlightenment Pill, Bai Qing'an has devoted his thoughts over these thirty years to collecting various spirit mines for Ye Qingxuan.

Over the thirty years, Bai Qing'an received an additional three Enlightenment Pills from Ye Qingxuan.

Combined with Bai Qing'an's own insights gained over these thirty years.

Recently, after handing over the final batch of spirit mines to Ye Qingxuan.

Bai Qing'an had already begun seclusion, formally attempting to break through to the Soul Transformation realm.

Above Mount Wanling.

Ye Qingxuan looked at the city he had built with his own hands with an air of ease and smiled lightly, saying:

"It is time to return."

Sixty full years had passed since his main consciousness descended into his external avatar.

Now, Dongxuan City had completely stabilized and entered the right track.

There was no longer any meaning for his main consciousness to remain here.

With a mere thought, feeling no trace of reluctance, Ye Qingxuan's main consciousness instantly returned to his original body.

The path he must walk is still very long.

A single city cannot become a chain binding him.

Within the Qingxuan Blessed Land.

The original body of Ye Qingxuan, who was meditating and cultivating, slowly opened his eyes, with starlight swirling within them.

After the main consciousness returned to the original body, Ye Qingxuan felt no discomfort whatsoever.

All his bodies were already under the control of his consciousness; only the focus of the consciousness differed.

Taking a single step, Ye Qingxuan arrived at the place within the Qingxuan Cave Heaven where spirit ores were smelted.

Over these years, Ye Qingxuan's Dongxuan City had continuously supplied various spirit ores to the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land.

Now, the elemental rules of the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land were sufficient to support its growth to the late stage of the fourth tier.

Decades had passed, and it was not only Dongxuan City that had developed.

Although Ye Qingxuan's Mysterious Market had never expanded,

once its reputation spread, more and more cultivators came and went to the Mysterious Market, and the number of low-tier Qing Demon Clan corpses acquired by the Mysterious Market increased day by day.

Relying on the supply of Qing Demon Clan corpses from the Mysterious Market, the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land had already advanced to the late stage of the third tier ten years ago.

The elevation of the Qingxuan Cave Heaven Blessed Land's tier

also caused the speed at which Ye Qingxuan condensed his spiritual roots to accelerate.

According to Ye Qingxuan's estimation, his fourth spiritual root would likely take about fifty more years to fully condense and take shape.
