Chapter 385: Chapter 354: Three Golden Pills_1
The Palace of Pure Heart’s affiliated city was called Suxin City, and its name alone indicated that it was under the Palace of Pure Heart’s jurisdiction.
Although it was managed by the Palace of Pure Heart, a large portion of the city’s profits had to be given to their main sect, the Four Seas Immortal Palace, and the Palace of Pure Heart’s actual annual income was around five to six hundred high-grade Spirit Stones.
Don’t think this is small, for a Golden Pill level power, this was considered good and could barely sustain the Palace of Pure Heart’s operation.
The main thing was that this was a fixed income, consistent regardless of good or bad crops, ensuring a steady supply of resources.
When Nangong Suyi first built this city, she spent a lot, but its existence allowed the Palace of Pure Heart to stand for hundreds of years.
However, a single city alone was not enough to sustain the entire Palace of Pure Heart. If the disciples of the palace wanted more resources, they had to work hard on their own.
The Cultivation Realm on the islands was different from the mainland, they couldn’t plant cultivation resources on a large scale due to limited land area.
But this did not mean they were helpless. While they couldn’t grow resources on the island, they could in the sea, moreover, marine aquaculture was also possible.
As far as Xu Mu knew, the Palace of Pure Heart had at least three large-scale marine aquaculture farms. The spiritual fish produced there could not only be eaten directly but also used for Alchemy, and the fish scales, bones, and eyes could be used to produce Magic Artifacts and Talismans.
These fish farms also functioned as a significant source of income for the Palace of Pure Heart as they could provide numerous Spirit Stones each year.
Among the tasks assigned to the Disciples of Su Xin Palace, guarding the fish farms was included.
Apart from this, the disciples of the Palace of Pure Heart themselves had developed secondary occupations. They dabbled in and inherited various immortal arts such as making talismans, practicing alchemy, refining tools, and formations.
The medical skills Xu Tiantian learned were among these.
However, what the Palace of Pure Heart was best at was making talismans. It was just a pity that the Palace Master Mo Wuxin, as well as Xu Mu, the strongest individual in the Palace of Pure Heart, didn’t dabble much in talismans, while Nangong Suyi was quite proficient in talisman making. After all, when Xu Mu first became her apprentice, she had given him several high-tier talismans.
Even the name of the Palace of Pure heart was directly related to talisman making, it’s not just a random name made up by Nangong Suyi in a rush.
In the sea area near the Palace of Pure Heart, a large amount of a low-tier spiritual herb called Suxin Grass grew. This herb had no medicinal value and couldn’t be used directly, but it was a prime material for making talisman paper.
Not only did the Palace of Pure Heart utilize it, but every year many external cultivators would also come here to collect Suxin Grass.
Perhaps it was due to the existence of Suxin Grass that Nangong Suyi decided to establish the Palace of Pure Heart here.
Because of their proficiency in talisman making and the convenience of having Suxin Grass, the reputation of Suxin City in the talisman making field was not small.
Each year’s trades comprised mostly of talismans, taking up at least 40% of the transactions.
The number of talisman makers in Suxin City was also unparalleled.
Entering the city, Xu Mu thought of how this city had been personally built by Nangong Suyi and couldn’t help but feel a bit emotional.
Because it was currently the Suxin Grass harvesting season, there were a lot of people in the city. It was bustling, and one could distinctly smell a salty, damp, sea-grass scent — the scent of Suxin Grass.
Xu Mu was in no hurry to find Xu Tiantian, so he entered a wine shop and sat there eating and listening to the idle chatter of the nearby people.
After cultivating all day, it was just appropriate to find a chance to relax.
“In recent years, the Palace of Pure Heart seems less and less interested in purchasing Suxin Grass, do you think something happened to them?”
A man with shaggy hair and dark skin complained with some dissatisfaction.
“What are you talking about here? If you let the city’s law enforcement team hear you, do you want to die?”
An old man with many wrinkles on his face spoke up.
