Wizards in the world of cultivation

Chapter 82 Deterrence
Ten days later, at Sunset Island.

Streaks of light streaked across the sky and then slowly descended onto Sunset Island.

This time, a great many cultivators came, not only Golden Core cultivators, but also a large number of Foundation Establishment cultivators and Qi Refining cultivators, all of whom were the descendants of these Golden Core cultivators.

Besides, many independent cultivators also came, hoping to catch a glimpse of the Nascent Soul Ancestor.

This time, Luoxia Island has become famous throughout the entire Mingkong Islands.

Whether it can attract a large number of independent cultivators to spend money here, or even stay here, remains to be seen.

Whether the market can expand rapidly to the Immortal City depends on whether it can retain its inhabitants.

Su You and Chen Yuanzong were also waiting at the entrance of the market to greet each Golden Core cultivator.

"This is the young master of Luoxia Island, and a disciple personally taught by the island master," Chen Yuanzong continued to introduce.

After all, he was now following behind Su You, and anyone with eyes could see that Su You was no ordinary person.

"So it's the young island lord, indeed you are extraordinary." One after another, the Golden Core cultivators praised him.

Although they couldn't see anything unusual about Su You, his status as a direct disciple of a Nascent Soul Ancestor was enough to make them take him seriously.

Of course, Su You would only receive Golden Core cultivators; Foundation Establishment cultivators and ordinary cultivators would be received by other members of the Chen family.

Su You also spent a huge amount of money on the opening banquet of this market. He not only hired a third-level spirit chef as the head chef, but also purchased a large number of precious spirit fruits as the banquet tableware.

The purpose is to make Luoxia Market famous this time.

However, so many cultivators didn't come empty-handed; they all brought gifts, so they shouldn't lose money.

Before everyone could take their seats, a white light suddenly appeared in the sky.

The white light gradually transformed from a pale white to a rainbow of colors before piercing the sky and disappearing into the southwest.

Standing atop it, Su You glanced around and saw that each of the cultivators wore an expression of terror.

Even those Golden Core cultivators are no exception.

They couldn't help but worry.

That power was truly terrifying. Even from this distance, they could still feel its earth-shattering force. If that power were to fall upon them, probably none of the Golden Core cultivators here would be able to withstand it.

As the second seven-colored light streaked across the sky, Su You quickly arrived at the front of the stage, activated his magic power, and said loudly, "Fellow Daoists, senior, there's no need to worry. This is Master testing a spell; it won't harm you."

"Is this a senior testing a spell?" a Golden Core cultivator said, his face full of shock.

Is the supernatural power of the Nascent Soul Ancestor really that strong?
He could sense that he had no power to resist this spell, and not even a chance to escape.

The three Golden Core elders sitting at the very front also had fear in their eyes.

They had seen Nascent Soul Ancestors before, and had even witnessed their battles, but the power of that spell was terrifying, even from such a distance.

This is not something an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator could do.

The power behind Sunset Island is far more unfathomable than they imagined.

After Su You's explanation, naturally no one dared to complain, and they all praised the senior's extraordinary abilities.

After a while, Su You announced the start of the banquet.

Having waited for quite some time without seeing the Nascent Soul Ancestor appear, a Golden Core cultivator mustered his courage and asked, "Young Island Master, when will the Island Master appear?"

"Master won't be attending this banquet. He dislikes lively scenes, which is why he left... well, that's why he came to the Mingkong Islands. He wants to find a quiet place to study magic." Su You only said half of his sentence, leaving the others with some room for speculation. Since the Nascent Soul Ancestor didn't want to come out, they naturally didn't dare force him. They had already witnessed his supernatural powers, and none of them dared to provoke him. If they were hit like that, probably none of them would return alive.

The banquet went very smoothly, and all the guests enjoyed themselves.

Having witnessed the power of the Nascent Soul Ancestor, many Golden Core families are eager to send people to open shops in the local market.

However, Su You naturally wouldn't concern himself with such trivial matters, leaving them entirely to Chen Yuanzong to handle.

After this banquet, the reputation of Luoxia Island should spread throughout the Mingkong Islands, attracting many cultivators to come.

The goal of building the Immortal City is within reach. The only drawback is the lack of spiritual veins. It will take some time to accumulate spirit stones and purchase more third-tier spiritual veins.

After the banquet ended, Su You returned to the Wizard Tower with the congratulatory gifts from the many cultivators. He was quite looking forward to the gifts from the many Golden Core cultivators and believed they wouldn't be too stingy.

……

Luoxia Island is located 600 li to the southwest.

The Golden Core cultivators who had just left all gathered in this location.

Below them lay a completely fragmented island.

"Is this the power of a Nascent Soul Ancestor? It's truly terrifying!" exclaimed a Golden Core cultivator.

"The Nascent Soul Ancestor on Luoxia Island is definitely not in the early Nascent Soul stage; he is very likely a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator," the Qian family patriarch transmitted his voice.

Such island-destroying magic is something that ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators cannot accomplish.

Regardless, this Nascent Soul Ancestor has laid the foundation for the Mingkong Islands, and they need to go back and discuss countermeasures.

……

Wizard Tower, fourth floor.

Su You and several maids began to count the congratulatory gifts given by the cultivators who attended the banquet.

There are many valuable Tier 3 materials on it, including some spiritual herbs that are over 500 years old.

These items combined are worth at least a million spirit stones, which is quite a substantial sum.

However, Su You went to great lengths to maintain the prestige of a Nascent Soul Ancestor at this banquet, including various spiritual dishes and fruits, which cost more than 700,000 spirit stones.

If you calculate it this way, you won't earn that many spirit stones.

The income from the market is the most important thing.

Besides the rent from various shops, renting out cave dwellings to other cultivators is also a major source of income.

The market attracted a large number of independent cultivators from the very beginning, since no place was safer than a place where a Nascent Soul ancestor was stationed.

In addition, Su You's own shop selling pills and magical artifacts immediately gained the trust of many rogue cultivators because of his reputation as a Nascent Soul Ancestor, and his previous stock of pills and magical artifacts was quickly cleared out.

Fortunately, the Chen family also has a group of cultivators who specialize in refining weapons and pills. Although they cannot meet the consumption needs of other cultivators, they are not without goods to sell.

Su You couldn't possibly spend all his time refining pills and crafting weapons just because business was good.

The daily crafting of weapons and pills is merely to hone one's skills. If one mechanically crafts a certain type of elixir or magical artifact, then one becomes a craftsman without creativity.
