Chapter 432 - Chapter 432: Chapter 132: Expansion of Liyan Fang Market (2/2)
indeed, the market was quite crowded.
originally, when flame island fang market was constructed, the central streets were not narrow, even more spacious than the previous black market streets at nanshan market.
but lin jing underestimated the number of cultivators on the islands in this nearby sea area…
at this moment, walking on the streets of the fang market.
there were constantly pedestrians passing by lin jing, some discussing the gains of the day, others talking about the events that had taken place recently.
behind those stalls were the various shops that had been built earlier.
traffic in and out of these shops was also non-stop.
at first, these shops had no takers for rent.
because the rents were not cheap, and at that time, flame island fang market had not yet developed or gained any fame…
later on, as flame island fang market kept developing,
lin jing, in order to attract cultivators from other islands, placed a batch of pure elixirs in the li yan elixir pavilion.
it was precisely these pure elixirs that made a name for li yan elixir pavilion among the nearby islands…
and flame island fang market thrived from there.
once flame island fang market started to develop, those who had been watching and waiting earlier, including some small trade associations, could no longer sit still.
they came one after another, requesting to settle in flame island fang market.
to date, the market could be said to have everything complete.
alchemy pavilions, artifact refining shops, talisman stores, and even a pavilion for buying exotic beasts and pets…
truly, all kinds of shops were available…
flame island fang market really only started developing over the past two years.
once the fame of flame island fang market spread, even without any effort from lin jing, a large number of cultivators would come daily on the strength of its reputation.
this led to the bustling scene seen today.
of course.
the most important factor was that in this sea area, there was not yet a mature market of any sort.
whether out of fear or simply lacking any selling points for promotion, other islands also had similar marketplaces.
however, those markets were not very appealing and couldn’t reach the scale of fang market.
……
wandering inside the fang market, lin jing walked and looked around…
occasionally, he would stop to check out some of the items being sold at other people’s stalls.
however, most of these stall owners were local cultivators from some nearby islands, so it was rare to find any notable items for sale.
finding truly good items at these stalls was as difficult as panning for gold in the sand…
lin jing casually glanced at a few stalls and found that mostly, they sold low-grade elixir medicines and various treasures.
not even a single golden core stage magical treasure or material could be found.
lin jing lost interest.
he then continued to walk further inside.
in this way, lin jing made his way to the very back of the market.
the furthest part of the market, which should have been the quietest, was also filled with quite a few people.
after looking around, lin jing had a rough idea in his mind and then left the market.
after leaving the market, lin jing did not return to his small courtyard but went to li yan city instead.
lin jing came to the city lord’s mansion of li yan city.
at that time, in the city lord’s mansion,
yue qi was talking with another golden core cultivator in yellow robes about some matters concerning li yan city.
this woman in yellow was named yan liyun and was the deputy city lord of li yan city.
when yue qi was busy and unavailable, it was she who managed the daily affairs of li yan city.
yan liyun was also among those who had advanced to the golden core stage with the help of lin jing, alongside huang linxian.
upon seeing lin jing’s arrival, the two quickly approached lin jing and bowed, saying,
“island master…”
lin jing nodded and said to them,
“dispense with the formalities…”
then, lin jing turned to yue qi and said,
“i came here to discuss some matters with you.”
upon hearing this, yan liyun immediately spoke to lin jing and yue qi,
“island master, city lord yue…”
“then i’ll take my leave.”
lin jing nodded, while yue qi said to yan liyun,
“the matters we discussed earlier, i’ll have to trouble you to pay them extra attention.”
yan liyun nodded and said,
“please rest assured, city lord yue, i will manage them carefully and ensure that no mistakes occur.”
after speaking, yan liyun bid farewell to lin jing and yue qi and left.
after yan liyun’s departure, yue qi spoke,
“island master, may i know the reason for your visit?”
lin jing said,
“qi’er…
“didn’t you mention expanding the market to me before?”
“i just took a walk through the market, and it’s indeed as crowded as you described, so it’s time we expanded the fang market…”
“going forward…”
“please make the necessary arrangements to expand flame island fang market.”
yue qi responded,
“understood, island master…”
