Chapter 522: The special nature of star-level shops

"Yes, boss!"

Hearing Ye Ye Qingxuan's words, Zhu Zhu Dafu saluted respectfully again, then flew away from the stone pavilion and flew in the direction of the market.

After leaving the stone pavilion for a distance, Zhu Zhu Dafu's face suddenly flushed, and he was excited and agitated in his heart:

"This shopkeeper knew that this boss of mine behind the scenes was not simple, but I didn't expect that this shopkeeper still underestimated this boss of mine behind the scenes."

Besides sixth and seventh-order enlightenment tea, Ye Ye Qingxuan could even take out seventh-order supreme-grade talismans.

And looking at Ye Ye Qingxuan's meaning, he would continue to take out low-grade magic treasures, seventh-order array disks, etc., to sell, how could this not shock him?

After all, these things are not what ordinary Void Penetration Realm cultivators can supply for a long time.

"What kind of strength is this boss of mine behind the scenes now?"

With the doubts in his heart, Zhu Zhu Dafu's flight trajectory crossed the sky.

This feeling of knowing secrets that others don't know, and being bound by a Dao oath and unable to speak, is really itchy.

After returning to the market, Zhu Zhu Dafu didn't return to the Heavenly Fortune Shop for the first time, but went to the management office of the market.

After entering a palace deep in the management office, bypassing other Deity Transformation Realm managers.

"Elder Li, I am Zhu Zhu Dafu, the shopkeeper of the Heavenly Fortune Shop. I came here this time to upgrade the Heavenly Fortune Shop to a star-level shop."

"Heavenly Fortune Shop?"

Hearing Zhu Zhu Dafu's words, a middle-aged man in a purple-gold robe in this palace slowly opened his eyes.

After sizing up Zhu Zhu Dafu, he cast his gaze into a sand table floating in front of him.

The entire sand table was the appearance of the entire Profound Heaven Sect market after being reduced.

After finding the location of the Heavenly Fortune Shop in the sand table, his spiritual sense merged into it to read the information of the Heavenly Fortune Shop, and Elder Li felt a burst of surprise in his heart.

"Hmm?"

Immediately after, Elder Li frowned and raised his head to size up Zhu Zhu Dafu with some suspicion, making Zhu Zhu Dafu feel a little numb in his heart.

Just when Zhu Zhu Dafu was at a loss and prepared to open his mouth to ask, Elder Li nodded slightly and said: "Yes, what about the spirit crystals?"

"Here, thirty thousand low-grade spirit crystals, Elder Li, please count them!"

Hearing this, Zhu Zhu Dafu hurriedly took out the thirty thousand low-grade spirit crystals Ye Ye Qingxuan gave him and handed them to Elder Li.

"Hmm!"

After counting the spirit crystals Zhu Zhu Dafu handed over, Elder Li waved his hand and took out one million supreme-grade spirit stones and handed them to Zhu Zhu Dafu: "This is the deposit for your Heavenly Fortune Shop before, now returned to you."

"Remember, after being promoted to a star-level shop, the spiritual crystal turnover every hundred years must reach thirty thousand low-grade spirit crystals."

"If this requirement is not met, the shop will be withdrawn from the star-level shop sequence, and the thirty thousand low-grade deposit will not be refunded."

"Alright, if there is no other objection, you can go now!"

"Yes, thank you Elder Li!"

Seeing that everything went smoothly, Zhu Zhu Dafu felt a sense of relief in his heart.

After all, before this, besides hearing that upgrading to a star-level shop required paying thirty thousand low-grade spirit crystals as a deposit, he didn't know if there would be other thresholds.

Now it seems that besides the thirty thousand low-grade spirit crystal deposit, there shouldn't be any other major thresholds for upgrading to a star-level shop.

But that's right, thirty thousand low-grade spirit crystals themselves are not a small threshold.

Being able to take out thirty thousand low-grade spirit crystals as a deposit shows that the owner of the shop has sufficient resources and strength, which naturally represents having the capital to upgrade the shop to a star-level shop.

As for the thirty thousand low-grade spirit crystal turnover required every hundred years? That is not something he should worry about.

Based on his understanding of this boss of his behind the scenes, since Ye Ye Qingxuan dared to upgrade the Heavenly Fortune Shop to a star-level shop, the turnover of thirty thousand low-grade spirit crystals every hundred years shouldn't be a big problem.

After Zhu Zhu Dafu left, Elder Li looked at Zhu Zhu Dafu's departing back in the hall and muttered to himself:

"Who is the elder behind this Heavenly Fortune Shop? The encryption level of the information actually doesn't even have the permission for this elder to view it?"

He naturally didn't know that Ye Ye Qingxuan's identity information had been covered and blocked by the Profound Heaven Sect's Pill Hall Hall Master and the Profound Heaven Sect's Sect Master one after another.

Now, except for the Profound Heaven Sect's Sect Master and the Supreme Elder, no one else in the Profound Heaven Sect has the permission to check Ye Ye Qingxuan's detailed information.

Ye Ye Qingxuan, as the boss behind the scenes of the Heavenly Fortune Shop, under such circumstances, Elder Li naturally couldn't check the deeper information of the Heavenly Fortune Shop.

"Forget it! Anyway, it has nothing to do with this seat!"

Although he was a little curious in his heart, since he didn't have the viewing permission, Elder Li didn't delve into it anymore, otherwise, it wouldn't be a good thing if he found out some secrets that couldn't be touched.

After suppressing the curiosity in his heart, Elder Li's spiritual sense surged into the sand table in front of him.

The next moment, the Heavenly Fortune Shop in the sand table erupted with dazzling light, and the whole thing began to change slightly.

At the same time, after the Heavenly Fortune Shop in the sand table changed, the Heavenly Fortune Shop in the market also changed accordingly.

After a burst of eye-catching light flickered, the Heavenly Fortune Shop began to rise involuntarily. Although it was still a three-story building, it was more than twice as high as before.

And the internal spatial structure of the Heavenly Fortune Shop also changed quite a bit, with many single rooms, counters, and several exhibition halls appearing out of thin air, and the area expanded by ten times.

Not only that, in the brilliant light, a star condensed and began to rise from the roof of the Heavenly Fortune Shop, and its light attracted the attention of the entire Profound Heaven Sect market.

"Look, a brilliant star suddenly rose in the market, is there a strange treasure born?"

"Slap!"

"Idiot, that's a shop in the market being promoted to a star-level shop. This is a unique scene when a star-level shop is promoted."

After a shop in the Profound Heaven Sect market is promoted to a star-level shop, a star will condense and hover above the shop for three days, which is equivalent to announcing to the cultivators in the market that the shop has been promoted to a star-level shop, and it can also be regarded as a kind of welfare publicity after the shop is promoted to a star-level shop.

After three days, this hovering star will shrink and collect its light, and finally be branded on the plaque of the Heavenly Fortune Shop.

As proof of the Heavenly Fortune Shop's star level.

After becoming a one-star shop, if the Heavenly Fortune Shop wants to continue to improve its star level, it depends on the high-order item transaction volume every hundred years.

As long as the transaction volume meets the standard, the Heavenly Fortune Shop will automatically be promoted in the next year, and the star branded on the plaque will also be automatically added. It's just that after this kind of promotion and star addition, although it will also make certain changes to the shop, it will not appear again with the scene of the star hovering today.

"It's the Heavenly Fortune Shop, the source of the light comes from the Heavenly Fortune Shop, the Heavenly Fortune Shop has been promoted to a star-level shop."

"Damn! Didn't that guy Zhu Fatty say he was letting it rot? How did the Heavenly Fortune Shop suddenly become a star-level shop?"

"Could it be that Zhu Fatty broke through to the Void Penetration Realm? But this is not metaphysical?"

"Don't mess around, the last time I met Zhu Fatty, he was only in the early stage of the Deity Transformation Realm. How could he break through to the Void Penetration Realm all of a sudden now?"

"That is, if Zhu Fatty could break through to the Void Penetration Realm, then I would be in the Void Meditation Realm."

"Heh, Void Meditation Realm? You dare to think? Don't hang gold on your face."

"Why? Not convinced? My master said that now that the great world has descended, everyone has hope of stepping into the immortal realm, not to mention the mere Void Meditation Realm? Wait a few years, when my cultivation base breaks through to the late stage of the Deity Transformation Realm, I will go to the Green Demon Realm to experience."

"Little master felt that he was the son of destiny since he was a child. When I go to the Green Demon Realm, little master will inevitably turn bad luck into good luck, encounter continuous adventures, and cultivation base advancing by leaps and bounds will no longer be a dream."

"Ah yes yes yes! You are the son of destiny, then I am destiny!"

"Boom!"

"Uh? Slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, I am at most a lick-dog life! Please let me go!"

Looking at the rolling thunder and surging lightning that suddenly appeared in the high sky, the person who spoke wildly before decisively chose to admit defeat, and after that person admitted defeat, this group of people looked at the sky with lingering fears and stopped arguing.

And some cultivators in other places in the market who didn't know why, looked up at the lightning that had already hidden, and were also confused for a while.

Only those high and mighty elders who were attracted by the scene of the Heavenly Fortune Shop being promoted to a star-level shop cast their eyes on the group of people who were talking before when the lightning appeared in the high sky, and couldn't help but sigh:

"It's still good to be young! Don't know the height of heaven and earth, dare to fight and dare to work... hmm, also dare to think!"

"Heavenly Fortune Shop? Does anyone know who the person behind this Heavenly Fortune Shop is?"

Obviously, these Void Penetration Realm elders appearing in the market now don't believe that the owner of the Heavenly Fortune Shop would be the mere Zhu Zhu Dafu in the early stage of the Deity Transformation Realm in the mouths of those below.

"Don't know, this elder is also hearing about the Heavenly Fortune Shop for the first time."

"Elder Sun has been concentrating on cultivation before, it's normal not to know about this Heavenly Fortune Shop. Hundreds of years ago, this Heavenly Fortune Shop made a so-called nuclear explosion pill, which caused quite a stir among the low-order disciples of the sect at that time."

"Oh? Is that so? This Heavenly Fortune Shop is quite interesting."

"Let's go, go to this Heavenly Fortune Shop and take a look. As the only shop in the market in three thousand years to be promoted to a star-level shop, this seat wants to see what kind of foundation this Heavenly Fortune Shop has."

As a hegemon-level force, there are quite a few cultivators who have broken through to the Void Penetration Realm in the Profound Heaven Sect in this millennium.

But there are very few Void Penetration Realm cultivators who open shops in the market, and there is not even one who opens a shop in the market and upgrades the shop to a star-level shop.

Being promoted to a star-level shop seems easy, but for ordinary Void Penetration Realm cultivators, it is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Just the thirty thousand low-grade spirit crystals.

Even if it is a cultivator of the Profound Heaven Sect who has just broken through to the Void Penetration Realm, if there is no support from sect elders or masters, it is not so easy to accumulate thirty thousand low-grade spirit crystals.

And even if you take out thirty thousand low-grade spirit crystals, this does not mean that you can operate a star-level shop.

After all, after spending thirty thousand low-grade spirit crystals to upgrade the shop to a star-level shop.

If you don't have a continuous supply of seventh-order heavenly materials and earthly treasures as a source of goods, then you are equivalent to wasting thirty thousand low-grade spirit crystals in vain.

But an ordinary Void Penetration Realm cultivator, wanting to occupy a seventh-order resource treasure land that can continuously produce seventh-order heavenly materials and earthly treasures on his own, is something he doesn't even dare to think about.

Even in the Di Li Xuan Realm where spiritual energy is abundant, if there is no heaven-defying luck, it is extremely difficult to accidentally discover that kind of seventh-order treasure land that has just been nurtured by heaven and earth and has not been occupied by anyone.

As for snatching other people's seventh-order resource treasure lands?

Both are Void Penetration Realm cultivators, others are backed by seventh-order resource treasure lands, and you are a poor ghost, why can you snatch it from others in their home base? As for those Void Penetration Realm powerhouses who have auxiliary cultivation of the four arts of cultivation, as alchemists, refiners, talisman masters, and array masters, these cultivators can indeed accumulate resources more quickly. However, when they have just broken through to the Void Penetration Realm, how could they have sufficient resources to raise their attainments in the four arts of cultivation to the seventh order? And even if these Void Penetration Realm powerhouses have successfully raised their attainments in the four arts of cultivation to the seventh order after a period of fighting. But after reaching the seventh order, whether it is seventh-order talismans, seventh-order elixirs, seventh-order array disks, or low-grade magic treasures, the time required for refining will increase significantly. Coupled with a little carelessness, the refining process may fail. If you don't occupy that kind of treasure land that can continuously produce seventh-order resources, even if these Void Penetration Realm cultivators' attainments in the four arts of cultivation are raised to the seventh order, it is not enough to support the operation of a star-level shop. Coupled with the fact that the Profound Heaven Sect will take a cut of the transaction volume of the shops in the Profound Heaven Sect market. If the quantity of seventh-order heavenly materials and earthly treasures is relatively small, it is better to trade privately among the Void Penetration Realm cultivators of the Profound Heaven Sect. For many star-level shops that have been operating for a long time in the Profound Heaven Sect market, profit is secondary. The main role of star-level shops is to help the controllers behind the star-level shops collect sect contribution points through star-level shops, and acquire special or heavenly materials and earthly treasures they need. And all of this requires the controllers behind these star-level shops to have huge high-order resources and spirit crystals as support. Therefore, it is precisely because of these various reasons that Ye Ye Qingxuan's Heavenly Fortune Shop is the only shop in the Profound Heaven Sect market in three thousand years to be promoted to a star level. After all, not everyone is like Ye Ye Qingxuan. Simultaneously a refiner, alchemist, talisman master, and array master, not only with high attainments, but also with astonishing success rates in refining. And sits on a seventh-order cave heaven blessed land, as well as a Void Penetration-level Starlight Cave Heaven Secret Realm, independently occupying two eighth-order spiritual veins, more than a dozen seventh-order spiritual veins, and a seventh-order starlight stone spiritual mine. Coupled with the seventh-order spiritual medicine continuously cultivated by the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, as well as a seventh-order enlightenment tea tree, and those seventh and eighth-order heavenly materials and earthly treasures purified and re-nurtured by Ye Ye Qingxuan with the eighth-order Cave Heaven Blessed Land purification array. Even if Ye Ye Qingxuan doesn't sell the magic treasures, seventh-order talismans, seventh-order array disks, and seventh-order elixirs he refined in the Heavenly Fortune Shop in the future. Just taking out a batch of seventh-order enlightenment tea, seventh-order spiritual mines, and seventh-order spiritual medicine that can be continuously produced to sell is enough to keep the Heavenly Fortune Shop after being promoted to a star level running. And with two eighth-order spiritual veins and more than a dozen seventh-order spiritual veins backing him, Ye Ye Qingxuan can completely acquire seventh and eighth-order heavenly materials and earthly treasures through the Heavenly Fortune Shop. Besides what he uses himself, the rest can be completely sold in the Heavenly Fortune Shop to earn the price difference. Therefore, in the market of the Profound Heaven Sect, those who dare to upgrade their shops to star-level shops. If they are not fools who don't understand anything, they are big rich people with sufficient foundation and many good things. This is also the real reason why those Void Penetration Realm cultivators who happened to be in the market today were attracted to the Heavenly Fortune Shop after seeing the Heavenly Fortune Shop being promoted to a star level.

However, upon just advancing to the Void Penetration Realm, how could they possibly have sufficient resources to elevate their attainments in the four arts of cultivation to the Seventh Order? And even if these Void Penetration Realm powerhouses successfully elevated their attainments in the four arts of cultivation to the Seventh Order after a period of struggle.

But once they reached the Seventh Order, whether it was Seventh-Order talismans, Seventh-Order elixirs, Seventh-Order array disks, or even Lower-Grade magic treasures, the time required for refining would increase significantly.

Coupled with the fact that one careless mistake could cause the entire refining process to fall short of success.

If they did not occupy a blessed land capable of producing Seventh-Order resources in a continuous stream, even if these Void Penetration Realm cultivators elevated their attainments in the four arts of cultivation to the Seventh Order, it would not be enough to support the operation of a star-rated shop.

Furthermore, the Xuantian Sect would take a commission on the transaction volume of shops in the Xuantian Sect marketplace.

If the quantity of Seventh-Order heavenly materials and earthly treasures was relatively small, it would be better to trade privately among the Void Penetration Realm cultivators of the Xuantian Sect.

For many star-rated shops that had been operating in the Xuantian Sect marketplace for a long time, profitability was already secondary.

The primary purpose of a star-rated shop was to help the masterminds behind it collect sect contribution points through the shop, as well as to acquire special heavenly materials and earthly treasures that they needed themselves.

And all of this required the masterminds behind these star-rated shops to have massive high-order resources and spirit crystals as support.

Therefore, it was precisely for these various reasons that Ye Ye Qingxuan's Tianfu Shop was the only shop in the Xuantian Sect marketplace to advance to star-rated status in three thousand years.

After all, not everyone was like Ye Ye Qingxuan.

He was simultaneously an artifact refiner, alchemist, talisman maker, and array master; not only were his attainments high, but the success rate of his finished products was astonishing.

He also possessed a Seventh-Order blessed land, as well as a Void Penetration-level Starlight Blessed Land secret realm, and single-handedly occupied two Eighth-Order spirit veins, over a dozen Seventh-Order spirit veins, and one Seventh-Order starlight spirit ore mine.

Coupled with the Seventh-Order spiritual herbs continuously cultivated by the blessed land, a Seventh-Order Enlightenment Tea Tree, and those Seventh and Eighth-Order heavenly materials and earthly treasures from the Qingmo Realm that Ye Ye Qingxuan had purified and re-nurtured with the help of the Eighth-Order Blessed Land Purification Array.

Even if Ye Ye Qingxuan did not sell the magic treasures, Seventh-Order talismans, Seventh-Order array disks, or Seventh-Order elixirs he refined at the Tianfu Shop in the future.

Relying solely on the Seventh-Order Enlightenment Tea, Seventh-Order spirit ores, and Seventh-Order spiritual herbs that could be produced continuously, taking out a batch to sell periodically was enough for Ye Ye Qingxuan to keep the Tianfu Shop running after it advanced to star-rated status.

Moreover, with two Eighth-Order spirit veins and over a dozen Seventh-Order spirit veins as a safety net, Ye Ye Qingxuan could fully utilize the Tianfu Shop to acquire Seventh and Eighth-Order heavenly materials and earthly treasures from the outside.

Apart from what he used himself, the rest could be sold in the Tianfu Shop to earn the price difference.

Therefore, in the Xuantian Sect's marketplace, anyone who dared to upgrade their shop to a star-rated shop.

If they were not fools who understood nothing, they were wealthy tycoons with deep foundations and many good things in their possession.

This was also the true reason why those Void Penetration Realm cultivators who happened to be in the marketplace today felt moved to visit the Tianfu Shop after seeing it advance to star-rated status.
