Chapter 777: Wang Youyu

With ten Core Formation spiritual items, Wang Changsheng hoped to cultivate more Core Formation cultivators and strengthen the family.

Only with five Core Formation cultivators could the Sky Sea Mirror be used to open the secret realm entrance.

Wang Ruyan took the Soul Awakening Fruit and swallowed it.Soon after, her face became distorted, and a thin layer of sweat seeped from her forehead, as if she were enduring some kind of pain.

In the Coral Sea region was the Sky Sea Market.The Sky Sea Market, established by Sky Sea Pavilion, was located at the intersection of the Coral Sea and Purple Star Sea. Its unique geographical location attracted numerous traveling merchants, making it a bustling commercial hub.The Purple Star Sea was named for the abundance of Purple Star Grass, a spiritual herb low-level demonic beasts particularly enjoyed. Purple Star Grass could be used to lure and kill low-level demonic beasts, or to feed low-level spiritual beasts. However, due to its specific growing environment, it was difficult to cultivate Purple Star Grass in other sea regions.Several shops in Sky Sea Market sold Purple Star Grass, and Sky Cloud Tower was one of them.The manager of Sky Cloud Tower was Sun Fu, a sixth-level Foundation Establishment cultivator. He only handled transactions with significant volume; his subordinates managed smaller deals.

One day, as Sun Fu was reviewing ledgers upstairs, he suddenly heard faint footsteps.Sun Fu closed the ledgers and looked towards the staircase. A man in a blue shirt, in his early thirties, came up. His clothes bore a sea cucumber pattern."Fairy Wang, long time no see, how have you been?" Sun Fu asked with a warm smile, his tone cordial.He dared not slight the man in blue; the man was a descendant of the Wang family from Sea Cucumber Island, a family from the Eastern Barrens and a member of the Three Immortals Alliance.The Wang family was generous in their dealings, procuring large quantities of cultivation resources every time, making them a major client of Sky Cloud Tower.

The man in blue was none other than Wang Youyu. As a Qi Refinement cultivator, she was one of the Four Azure Lotuses, a key talent nurtured by the family. She had now reached the Foundation Establishment stage, possessing a sixth-level Foundation Establishment cultivation.The Wang family's income primarily came from hunting demonic beasts and procuring cultivation resources. Wang Changqing was in charge of hunting, leading the family's specialized demon-hunting team. Wang Youyu was responsible for procuring cultivation resources.Wang Youyu commanded thirty cultivators: five Foundation Establishment cultivators and twenty-five Qi Refinement cultivators. She would acquire cultivation resources and escort them back to Sea Cucumber Island with her team. The family would then select a portion of these resources to transport back to the Eastern Barrens for sale, aiming for high volume and low profit margins. Part of the spirit stones earned would be sent to Sea Cucumber Island, while the majority would remain at Azure Lotus Villa to cultivate family members.Azure Lotus Villa served as the family's talent cultivation base, continuously sending cultivators to the South Sea, forming a complete system.The South Sea was rich in cultivation resources, and the resources transported back from Sea Cucumber Island had become the Wang family's primary source of income. The income from the Demon Control Nation paled in comparison to that from Sea Cucumber Island.In contrast, the Eastern Barrens remained relatively safe, with no wars and very few family casualties, unlike the South Sea where, despite puppet formations, family members died periodically.After more than a decade of development, Sea Cucumber Island had gained control over three small islands, housing over a hundred thousand mortals. However, the chance of mortals developing into cultivators was too low, so replenishing the family's talent still relied on Azure Lotus Villa.It was a common understanding in the cultivation world that for a cultivation family to produce members with good aptitude, the best methods were intermarriage with other cultivation families or marrying rogue cultivators. Wang Mengbin, a lightning spirit root cultivator, had a mother from the Han family of Green Ox Mountain.Following Wang Mengbin's example, the Wang family had continuously intermarried with other cultivation families and encouraged their members to have more children, hoping for more family members with good spiritual roots.Truthfully, the Wang family of Sea Cucumber Island was already self-sufficient. However, to enhance the family members' sense of belonging, those with spiritual roots would return to the Eastern Barrens with elders after turning ten. There, the elders would instill family values to boost their sense of belonging, and according to their skills, they would be assigned to various locations to serve the family.

"Manager Sun, long time no see. I'm here to pick up the goods. How is it? Has the batch I ordered arrived?" Wang Youyu nodded and asked with a smile."They've arrived! Ten thousand stalks of five-year-old Purple Star Grass. Fairy Wang, please check if the quantity is correct."Sun Fu took out a string of storage beads and handed them to Wang Youyu.Wang Youyu took out the Purple Star Grass from inside, carefully counted them, and after confirming the quantity was correct, she took out a green storage bead and handed it to Sun Fu."Manager Sun, as per our usual arrangement, I'd like to pre-order another ten thousand stalks of five-year-old Purple Star Grass. I'll pick them up in a year.""Excellent! Fairy Wang, rest assured, we will deliver on time."Sun Fu beamed with joy, smilingly agreed, and personally escorted Wang Youyu out of Sky Cloud Tower.

After leaving Sky Cloud Tower, Wang Youyu strolled through the streets with five family members.The streets were bustling with crowds, and constant shouts filled the air, making it very lively.Half an hour later, Wang Youyu appeared at the entrance of a three-story blue pavilion.This was a shop selling demonic beast materials. Wang Youyu intended to purchase a batch of second-tier demon cores to take back to the family for alchemy.The South Sea was rich in demonic beast resources, and most elixirs there were refined primarily from demon cores, with some spiritual herbs as supplementary ingredients."Wait here for a moment; I'll be out soon," Wang Youyu instructed, then strode inside. The five Qi Refinement family members waited at the entrance.A young woman in a green dress, in her early thirties, emerged from the shop. As she walked past them, they didn't notice some green powder flying from her fingers, landing on one of the family member's trouser legs.With people constantly moving on the street, no one else noticed.After a while, Wang Youyu emerged and left with the five family members.

An hour later, Wang Youyu was in a secluded courtyard, discussing the return route with five fellow Foundation Establishment cultivators.This time, they had purchased a substantial amount of goods, spending over 200,000 spirit stones. Each person was responsible for different items: some bought demon cores and spiritual herbs, others purchased talismans, and some acquired demonic beast materials.The Wang family of Sea Cucumber Island was not particularly strong; dispatching six Foundation Establishment cultivators to procure cultivation resources was already quite significant. The demon-hunting team required several Foundation Establishment cultivators, and Sea Cucumber Island also needed multiple Foundation Establishment cultivators to guard it."Divide the purchased items into three portions," Wang Youyu said gravely. "Each pair of us will carry one portion. If we encounter an irresistible powerful enemy, follow the planned escape route. It is crucial to deliver the items back to the family."She spoke with a serious tone, planning for contingencies. Every time she escorted cultivation resources, she would divide the valuables among multiple people to carry. This way, if they encountered an insurmountable powerful enemy, even if some were killed, not all the valuables would fall into enemy hands."Divide them again? Seventh Aunt, I don't think it's necessary this time! We've escorted goods many times without any trouble, there's no need for this, right?""Better safe than sorry. A little trouble for us is fine, as long as we can safely deliver the items back to the family. Everyone, listen to me."Wang Youyu's attitude was firm, and the others found it difficult to defy her.
