Chapter 414

"Cavern Void Realm?"

Hearing Ye Qingxuan's words, the old man was momentarily stunned.

He examined Ye Qingxuan closely.

The old man asked again, somewhat uncertainly:

"Is this senior truly of the Cavern Void Realm?"

Ye Qingxuan nodded slightly and confirmed:

"Correct, Cavern Void Realm."

Hearing Ye Qingxuan's confirmation, the old man inwardly complained.

Could he really be of the Cavern Void Realm?

"Senior, should I keep the shop assistants for you?"

There was no need to buy a large shop.

After hearing the old man's words,

he took a glass-colored small ball from his robe and used spiritual power to make it float before Ye Qingxuan.

"The senior is a Cavern Void Realm cultivator."

Ye Qingxuan did not make things difficult for the old man.

A small shop would suffice.

In the next moment,

however,

"Is this acceptable?"

Hearing Ye Qingxuan's choice, the old man dared not raise any objection.

Moreover, the shops in Dongjicheng were prepared for a high-end sales route.

He directly led Ye Qingxuan to a small shop in the core area of the Dongji Market.

He bought the shop only to establish a foothold in Dongjizhou.

"A small shop is enough."

Hearing Ye Qingxuan's voice,

on the opposite side,

"Purchasing a small shop requires three hundred thousand supreme spirit stones, a medium shop requires one million supreme spirit stones, and a large shop requires five million supreme spirit stones."

The old man immediately snapped out of it, bowed slightly with his head lowered, and said:

"It is acceptable, it is acceptable."

Seeing this, the old man's eyes froze for a moment, and he thought in shock:

"Is he truly a Cavern Void Realm powerhouse?"

Arriving at the shop entrance, the old man respectfully said:

"Could building a city anywhere in Dongjizhou not bring greater profits than opening a shop?"

Although he inwardly complained,

what if he really was?

He dared not offend the other party lightly.

"May I ask what type of shop the senior wishes to purchase?"

Seeing the old man dazed, Ye Qingxuan frowned and said:

Hearing the old man's words, Ye Qingxuan did not hesitate long and spoke directly:

Although he was unsure if the person before him was truly a Cavern Void Realm powerhouse,

the glass ball floating in the air instantly burst forth with dazzling purple light.

Yet the old man's face already wore a broad smile.

Ye Qingxuan waved his hand, and a wisp of spiritual power immediately entered the glass ball.

After handling the procedures for Ye Qingxuan at an extremely fast speed,

while speaking,

a proper Cavern Void Realm powerhouse,

"This is the procedure for purchasing a shop in Dongjicheng; please do not take offense, senior."

Therefore, before confirming the other party's cultivation,

he had come to open a shop and establish a foothold, not to make enemies with Dongjicheng.

The old man smiled and said softly:

"Senior, please input a trace of your spiritual power."

The smile on the old man's face grew even more intense.

Looking at the glass-colored small ball before him,

the shops within the Dongji Market,

even those not yet sold, would be temporarily taken over and operated by people from Dongjicheng.

The small shop Ye Qingxuan had purchased was currently operating a talisman business.

Glancing at the shop, Ye Qingxuan shook his head slightly and said:

"No need; withdraw them all!"

"Understood, senior."

Hearing Ye Qingxuan's words, the old man dared not be negligent.

After handing over the shop to Ye Qingxuan,

he gathered the original shop assistants, tidied everything up carefully,

and then left the place without delay.

Once the old man and his entourage departed,

Ye Qingxuan temporarily closed the shop door, a thoughtful expression appearing in his eyes.

He planned to sell only elixirs, artifacts, talismans, and arrays of the Fifth Stage and above in this shop.

However, Dongjicheng was teeming with powerful experts.

Among the cultivators under his command, none were currently suitable to guard this shop.

"It seems I must summon another clone to the Dongji Domain."

The moment the thought arose,

the clone Nanxuan, who was leading another clone southward toward the Nanman Domain, suddenly halted.

He waved his hand and opened a spatial gate carried with him.

Without a word, the clone beside Nanxuan stepped through the gate.

It then transferred through the Qingxuan Grotto-Heaven's transit point,

teleporting directly to the side of the external avatar Dongxuan in the Dongji Domain.

At the same time, another clone of Ye Qingxuan that had entered the Demon Realm world

withdrew directly from the Demon Realm and returned to the Di Xuan Realm.

It then hurried toward Nanxuan's location,

preparing to rendezvous with Nanxuan and proceed to the Nanman Domain.

In the Dongji Domain,

within the shop purchased by Ye Qingxuan's external avatar,

a regular clone had already arrived.

It teleported to the side of the external avatar Dongxuan.

Activating the Minor Divine Art: Shape-Shifting,

this clone's aura and appearance instantly became identical to the external avatar's.

Looking at his regular clone,

Ye Qingxuan's external avatar smiled faintly.

Then he took a step, instantly used the Minor Divine Art: Spatial Shuttle to leave Dongjicheng, and vanished.

After the external avatar departed,

Ye Qingxuan's regular clone reopened the shop's main door.

With a wave of his hand, he changed the sign above the shop to "Dongxuan Shop."

He then returned inside, retrieved a rocking chair,

lay down on it, and leisurely waited for a destined guest to arrive.

Not long after,

news spread among the elite of Dongjicheng that a mysterious Void-Sea Realm expert had arrived in the city and opened a shop.

Several Void-Sea Realm experts cultivating secretly in Dongjicheng sent invitations to Ye Qingxuan's clone.

However, Ye Qingxuan directly rejected them.

In the days that followed,

while managing the shop,

Ye Qingxuan's clone also spread his spiritual sense throughout Dongjicheng to gather various information.

Possessing an Immortal Soul, Ye Qingxuan's spiritual sense power far exceeded that of cultivators of the same realm.

He had later cultivated the Minor Divine Art: Heaven-Deceiving to the Minor Success stage.

Even with just one of his regular clones, the spiritual sense power he secretly emitted

would not be detected by the Void-Sea Realm cultivators in Dongjicheng,

as long as he did not actively approach them.

A few days later,

"So this is the Linzhou Prefecture?"

The figure of Ye Qingxuan's external avatar slowly materialized within a vast expanse of heaven and earth.

Gazing at this realm, Ye Qingxuan's brows furrowed slightly.

The spiritual energy in this realm was utterly turbid.

The sky was a gray haze, filled with a silence as dead as the void.

Occasionally, various small energy tides would appear, sweeping across all directions.

Ye Qingxuan could sense that

the Great Dao laws and profound principles extending from the Di Xuan Realm into this territory were scarce.

Within this realm,

the Great Dao laws and profound principles born of its own essence were still in the initial stage of evolution.

This was the Linzhou Prefecture,

one of the major prefectures in the Dongji Domain near the Heavenly Abyss,

and also one of the latest major prefectures to be born in the entire Di Xuan Realm.

It is also one of the latest great provinces to emerge in the entire Earthly Xuan Realm.

Precisely for this reason, combined with the unstable and harsh environment of Linzhou Prefecture.

Linzhou Prefecture is one of the few regions in the Earthly Profound Realm with no mortal population.

Even the number of cultivators

within Linzhou Prefecture is extremely small.

If not for certain interests, there might not be any cultivators staying in Linzhou Prefecture at all.

Ye Qingxuan came on this journey

to find a vein of Hunling Stones and secure a continuous supply of Hunling Stones.
