"Half a year from now, the Azurecloud Secret Realm will open!" After Zhang Yang finalized matters with the Bluemoon Trading Guild, he began discussing the Azurecloud Market. "In less than half a year, the Azurecloud Market will face a surge.

So, we need to plan the Azurecloud Market well in the coming months."

Jiang Zhiqiu was already aware of the secret realm's opening. What he was waiting for now was how to plan the Azurecloud Market.

Situ Mingyue hurriedly asked, "What cultivation level can enter?"

"Golden Core Realm and below!"

"Ah! Doesn't that mean I can enter?" Situ Mingyue said excitedly. "Surely there's a spot for me, right? And for Chunxiao too, let her in as well... Senior Brother, there shouldn't be a problem with two spots for us, right?"

She had been present at the last meeting, but at that time, Qingyunzi hadn't even confirmed the existence of the secret realm, so she hadn't paid much attention.

Now that it was on the agenda, the secret realm must exist.

Being able to enter the secret realm, she was very excited.

Zhang Yang naturally said, "We must first satisfy our own Azurecloud members! Not only can we all enter, but disciples who have opened their Spirit Sea can also enter. These benefits are indispensable for everyone. What we're discussing now is how to plan the Azurecloud Market. This time, I plan to allocate some spots to allow people from other forces to come to the secret realm."

Situ Mingyue immediately understood the importance of Zhang Yang's plan for the Azurecloud Market.

Those from other sects coming to Azurecloud would definitely stay at the Azurecloud Market.

The Azurecloud Market is equivalent to the front station of the Azurecloud Sect and is related to the sect's reputation, so they must be well-received.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but recall Zhang Yang's words when he first invited her to Azurecloud.

She took a deep breath; indeed, the gears of destiny for the Azurecloud Sect had begun to turn.

"Senior Brother, what's your plan?" Situ Mingyue asked.

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "These Nascent Soul Stage, even Divine Soul Stage cultivators surely have many spirit stones and various resources on them. We need to find a way to get them to spend their money!"

Find the original at "pawread.com".

Situ Mingyue was somewhat speechless; she noticed that this senior brother got very excited when talking about money.

However, she also thought it was a great opportunity to make money.

So many experts are not short of money; how to make them spend it is the most important thing.

"We need to focus on clothing, food, housing, and transportation," Situ Mingyue immediately had an idea. "Those at the Golden Core Realm and above have mostly achieved inedia, so we can ignore 'food.' These people can fly, so 'transportation' isn't an issue either. That leaves 'housing.' So, we must open inns! High-end inns!"

Zhang Yang pondered for a moment and said, "Once Third Uncle-Master comes out of seclusion, I'll ask him to research some tea and wine that even those at the Nascent Soul Stage or Divine Soul Stage can use. Even if they've achieved inedia, they'll have to willingly spend money. Moreover, we've invited Foundation Establishment disciples this time, and they need to eat. Prepare some spiritual materials to sell to them!"

Situ Mingyue's eyes lit up. "These items should be sold through the Bluemoon Trading Guild. Let's open the Bluemoon Trading Guild at the Azurecloud Market first."

She could imagine that the Bluemoon Trading Guild would surely become an instant hit.

"What else?" Zhang Yang said slowly. "Jiang Junior Brother, later, go and take a look at my estate. Then, follow that concept and choose a scenic spot on the outskirts of the Azurecloud Market to build dozens of estates for me. These estates can be rented or sold. As long as the price is right, everything is negotiable."

"Yes, Senior Brother!" Jiang Zhiqiu said eagerly.

He had always thought of making a move quietly, but now it seemed that Senior Brother was far more brilliant.

He would just cooperate in the future.

Zhang Yang combined his past money-making ideas with the mindset of immortal cultivators to see what could be utilized.

Indulgence in pleasures didn't seem quite right.

Clothing, food, housing, and transportation—he had already solved a few of these. Clothing... crafting magical treasures? Combining with fashion? He thought of consulting Fifth Uncle-Master and Sixth Uncle-Master. Perhaps the two could collaborate, one designing rune patterns, the other crafting materials, and they might come up with a batch of unique outfits.

Providing some entertainment for these powerful cultivators?

Playing mahjong, poker... all could be arranged.

In short, they must ensure these Nascent Soul Stage and Divine Soul Stage cultivators spend a good amount of money at the Azurecloud Market and leave satisfied, or even better, reluctant to leave.

Meanwhile, Jiang Zhiqiu was transforming the map of the Azurecloud Market's surroundings, continuously implementing Zhang Yang's projects on it.

After much discussion, the projects for the Azurecloud Market were mostly finalized.

At this point, Jiang Zhiqiu began to worry. He looked at Zhang Yang with concern. "Senior Brother, we don't have enough manpower... and I might not have enough money on my side."

The Azurecloud Market had so few people, and to undertake such a large project and complete it in a few months was indeed too tight.

Zhang Yang sighed, recalling the three thousand Flying Dragon Guard. What a great construction team they would have been!

He should have detained them back then and only released them after all the projects were completed.

"Try to recruit manpower from the surrounding villages, offer high wages, and don't be afraid to spend money," Zhang Yang said firmly. "As for the money issue, the Azurecloud Sect's treasury still has some surplus. I'll allocate two hundred thousand spirit stones for you, which should be enough. But since these are sect projects, the profits can't all go to you; you'll only get a small portion."

Jiang Zhiqiu smiled and said, "I'm part of the sect; it's my duty to contribute to the sect, even without pay."

Zhang Yang waved his hand. "The benefits you deserve, you don't need to refuse. What you shouldn't get, don't take. Rest assured, the sect will soon enter a period of rapid development. As a Golden Core cultivator, you've already boarded the high-speed... flying vessel. The future benefits are beyond your imagination. The only thing to remember is, when you reach a high position one day, don't forget your original intention."

"Yes, I will follow Senior Brother's instructions!" Jiang Zhiqiu nodded.

Although he was older, he felt that his thoughts and insights were far behind this senior brother.

After finalizing the Azurecloud Market plans, Zhang Yang and Situ Mingyue returned to the Azurecloud Sect with Qin Yushu and Jiang Zhiqiu.

When Jiang Zhiqiu saw Zhang Yang's large villa, he found it a bit odd. A senior brother with such a large house, complete with artificial hills and a swimming pool... was this really immortal cultivation or just living in luxury?

He felt that his previous life was that of a commoner, not to mention the years as a rogue cultivator, which were like fleeing from famine.

"Take a look and bring the blueprints back. Build according to this style. Our main focus is high-end, grand, and classy. As for rune patterns... we'll have to keep it simple; it definitely won't be as good as mine," Zhang Yang said, letting Jiang Zhiqiu do as he pleased. After greeting Qin Yushu, he personally headed to the Azurecloud Sect.

In fact, he could have loudly called for his master and brought Qingyunzi out.

But if he did that, wouldn't it be too easy for Qin Yushu to seek the Dao?

Therefore, he planned to give Qin Yushu a good lesson, letting him know just how rare this opportunity was.
