Chapter 137: The Rogue Cultivators Are Our Potential Members
"City Lord, you are finally here. Why don't you see Lao Lin? Hasn't he been trying to give you a surprise in secret?"

Led by Han Zhao, the two came to the shop that purchased ancient books - the second floor of the teahouse opposite.

Xu Qiyun and his group were drinking tea here and observing the business across the street.

Seeing Fang Chen coming, Xu Qiyun was the first to greet him. After greeting him, he looked around, looking for Lin Qingshan.

"Deputy Mayor Lin wanted to solve the problem of the mother-child jade slips, and he went to study on his own."

Han Zhao, who was following behind, answered the question for Fang Chen.

"City Lord."

At this time, several other people in the room also stood up and saluted Fang Chen, and he returned the salutes one by one.

"Okay, everyone sit down."

Fang Chen waved his hand with a smile, asking everyone to return to their seats, then walked to the window, where he could just see the shop that bought ancient books.

Library.

It's a straightforward name.

"There are quite a lot of people here, but where did they find so many ancient books?"

Looking at the long line below, everyone was carrying more than one book. There were bamboo slips, cow and sheep skins, brocades, and so on.

Paper books are rarely seen.

"How can there be so many ancient books? Most of them are forged. It is also considerate to consider that printing technology has only matured in recent decades, so paper books are rarely used."

Xu Qiyun took a sip of tea and answered with a smile.

"Then it must be very troublesome to distinguish the authenticity?"

Fang Chen instantly felt a little sympathy for the shop assistant below.

But when he looked closely, he found that the clerk was quite familiar to him. It was He Shan, He Hai and He Lai.

But it seems that they are not responsible for the work. They are only responsible for personally receiving distinguished guests when they come to the door.

Most of these wealthy families came at the invitation of the He family, so it was only natural for the three of them to come forward.

"Why do we need to distinguish? As long as the content is not fabricated, the library will accept all."

Xu Qiyun took another sip of tea, the smile on his face remained unchanged.

"What are you planning again?"

Hearing him say this, Fang Chen knew that he had other plans, so he did not argue with him, but directly asked the reason.

"Anyway, we will only exchange these ancient books with the unimproved Five Elements Secret Art. It only has the general outline and does not include the cultivation methods for the Qi training period. Why not do it?"

Xu Qiyun talked about the things he used to exchange for these ancient books, which was the version of the Five Elements Secret that Fang Chen practiced at the beginning.

It is a very common existence in the world of cultivation.

"Although there is no loss, we also don't have much profit, right? Well, these books can add some heritage to Yuehua Fairy City."

In fact, not only is there no profit, but putting all the books into the library without discrimination will also increase the reading difficulty for residents.

Even if there are real ancient books, and they contain content related to the exercises, they will be drowned out by the vast amount of false information and become very difficult to find.

The only benefit may be that the residents of Xiancheng have more books to read.

"Of course there are benefits. After obtaining the skills, you have to try to practice. The city lord said that if you don't rely on cheating methods, even the worst talent can sense spiritual energy within five months and enter the threshold of Qi Refining, unless you have no spiritual roots."

When Xu Qiyun said this, Fang Chen already completely understood what he meant.

"Are you creating potential customers for the Luna Market?"

If one has the technique, one will certainly try to practice it. Otherwise, why would one go through so much trouble to exchange it for ancient books?
Once they started practicing, they became customers of the Moon Goddess Market.

This is inevitable.

The people who exchanged items were all from nearby. After training, as long as they needed any kind of supplies, they could only come to the Moon Goddess Market to buy them.

So he became a customer of the market.

At the same time, their existence will become a natural publicity for the market.

If the outside cultivators are not used to the contribution and think it is a scam, they will gradually believe it when they see that these people can buy all the items in the market with their contributions.

"The city lord is smart. He has seen through my thoughts."

Xu Qiyun put down his teacup and flattered Fang Chen.

"Hahahaha, you're still the best."

Fang Chen laughed loudly for a while, then shook his head, praising Xu Qiyun's wisdom. At the same time, he also reminded Wang Shijie, Han Zhao, Deng Mingtong, Li Ran and Zhao Qian in the room, saying: "This is the skill of your Master Xu. Learn well. When you reach his level, each of you can manage a fairy city on your own."

"Thank you for your teachings, Master Emperor."

Several people looked at each other and realized that Fang Chen was not discussing this matter in the capacity of the Lord of Yuehua Fairy City, but as the Emperor's son.

As residents of the Immortal City, they have never forgotten their identities as descendants of the Immortal Dynasty, and they also know that the Emperor's son will one day rebuild the Immortal Dynasty.

The Immortal Dynasty definitely has more than just one Immortal City.

The prince is promising them the position of the future lord of the fairy city.

So he quickly stood up and saluted solemnly to Fang Chen in front of the window.

"No need to be polite."

Seeing that the five people understood what he meant, Fang Chen nodded with satisfaction.

After meeting Long Jia, a living fossil from the Immortal Dynasty, Fang Chen was no longer afraid that his fabricated identity as the emperor's son would be exposed.

Occasionally, this identity is used to hint at certain things.

Just like now.

Before traveling through time, he wasn't much of a fan of making big promises.

Now he understood that he just didn't like being told big things.

It feels good to paint a pie for others.

"My Lord City Lord, you are flattering me. I have just lived longer and have experience in some things."

Seeing the scene in front of him, Xu Qiyun could hardly stop smiling. He first said a few humble words, and then said to his students: "The Moon God Market is of great importance. The city lord has entrusted this place to you. You must not disappoint the city lord's expectations."

"Thank you for the advice, Master."

The five of them bowed respectfully to Xu Qiyun who was sitting there.

"Then let me test you again. Your teachers have already attracted the first batch of customers, but they have not made any contributions. What kind of work will you arrange for them to earn contributions?"

This is a critical issue. The biggest shortcoming of Yueshenfang City is that there is no place nearby where one can earn spirit stones.

A city like Lianyunfang doesn't have to worry about this problem at all. As long as the independent cultivators enter the Lianyun Mountains to adventure and come out alive, they will have a lot of gains.

Then exchange these gains for spirit stones and buy everything you need.

That’s why Yueshen Market uses contributions instead of spirit stones.

As soon as Fang Chen finished speaking, the scene suddenly became quiet.

It’s not that a few people don’t have ideas. Since they are planning to manage the Moon Goddess Market, they certainly have certain understandings. They just wonder who should say it.

After a moment of silence, Li Ran stepped forward and said, "I'm the oldest here, so let me explain."

Seeing Fang Chen and Xu Qiyun nod, he continued: "The residents of Yueshenfang City have all moved into Xianju. We have only used 300 acres of the 1,000 acres of land outside. We plan to reclaim the rest of the land into spiritual fields and let the independent cultivators take care of them."

"Do you all think so?"

Fang Chen did not comment on this answer.

It’s not that it’s impossible, it’s just too routine and the positions available are limited.

A cultivator at the first level of Qi training can take care of five acres of spiritual fields. Seven hundred acres of spiritual fields can only provide jobs for one hundred and forty independent cultivators.

And as their cultivation levels improve, the competition will obviously become more intense.

When asking back, Fang Chen's eyes swept over the five people, but no one dared to look at him.

Except, Zhao Qian.

"City Lord, I have a different idea."

After looking at Fang Chen, Zhao Qian seemed to have made up his mind and expressed his thoughts.

"tell me the story."

Fang Chen raised his eyebrows, wanting to know if he had any unique insights.

"Several seniors regard independent cultivators as outsiders and can only arrange work for them in the Moon Goddess Market. This is indeed difficult. The plan proposed by the seniors is the best solution."

Zhao Qian paused and continued, "But I think that independent cultivators are our potential members."
