Hearing the words Fourth Grade and Fifth Grade, Tong He’s breathing also became slightly hurried. Clenching his fists, he said, “Good, Grandson will listen to Grandfather.” Saying so, he quickly disappeared.
Looking in the direction where Tong He had left, and then in the direction of the many Open Heaven Stage of Void Land, Shopkeeper Tong stroked his white beard, a light flashing across his eyes as he considered the gains and losses. Although he had said so to his grandson, he was actually a bit worried, afraid that, as his grandson had said, the Void Land would arrange for people to raise the price and buy back the Heavenly Yuan Positive Seal.
However, just as he had said, this was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If they could succeed, they would definitely soar into the sky in the future, no longer having to struggle bitterly at the bottom of this world. In life, opportunities were few and far between, and if they couldn’t grasp this opportunity in front of them, they could only fall into poverty.
A large number of Open Heaven Stage cultivators followed behind Yang Kai as he patrolled the Star City. His identity quickly spread and the remaining cultivators in the Star City all turned their attention to him. From time to time, some people would whisper to each other and point in his direction. Many young people would look at him with admiration and respect, and they couldn’t help thinking that he was a real man.
Everyone is an Emperor Realm, but while they were still struggling to obtain a few Open Heaven Pills, the other party had already occupied an entire land with many Open Heaven masters subordinate.
“Sect Master, you want to auction the Heavenly Yuan Positive Seal Pill, are you trying to build momentum?” Lu Xue asked softly as she followed Yang Kai.
Yang Kai nodded, “Right now, we can only rely on the Heavenly Yuan Positive Seal Pill, so naturally we have to work hard with this spirit pill.”
He had mentioned this plan before, so no one was surprised. However, there were advantages and disadvantages to throwing out the Heavenly Yuan Positive Seal Pill for sale. The advantage was that it could gather Star City’s popularity in the shortest time possible, but the disadvantage was that it might attract the attention of some forces.
However, compared to the benefits he would receive, this small risk was still something he had to bear. Since Shopkeeper Tong had the courage to bet everything he had, how could Yang Kai not?
What’s more, the Void Land had even relocated its headquarter. With the two Holy Spirits guarding it, it would more or less have some ability to protect itself.
“But in three days, there won’t be enough time to advertise. At that time, I’m afraid only the cultivators who are still in Star City will be able to participate,” Lu Xue said worriedly, “At that time, the price won’t be high.”
For a lost treasure like the Heavenly Yuan Positive Seal Pill, once it was auctioned, it would have to be publicized a long time ago to allow the various great forces to collect funds. Only then would they be able to reap the greatest benefits. The Red Clouds Auction had announced a year or two earlier, and with the Blood Monster Cave Heaven about to open, many masters had gathered in Thousand Birds Star City, so it had made a great profit.
Yang Kai had arrived here today and suddenly announced that there would be an auction in three days. It was simply too rushed.
Yang Kai smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter if the price is high or not. The Heavenly Yuan Positive Seal Pill is indeed precious, but that’s only for others. For my Void Land, this spirit pill is nothing.”
Ding Feng City had more than three hundred cultivators who had broken through to Open Heaven, and Yang Kai had given each of them Open Heaven Pill. Even the Second Order Open Heaven Stage have a share, so what did it matter if they auctioned one now?
Sometimes, losing money wasn’t a bad thing.
It was easy to imagine that after this auction ended, there would be no need for Void Land to deliberately spread the news. The news would definitely spread like wildfire to the various domains of the Outer Universe. At that time, Void Star City’s popularity would no longer be a concern.
Lu Xue thought about it for a moment and felt it was reasonable, so she didn’t say anything further.
Star City wasn’t big, so it didn’t take long for the patrol to finish. Golden Light Dock, Flying Crane Sect, and the other leaders of the seven third rank forces all heard that Yang Kai had arrived and quickly came over to greet him. Yang Kai’s praise for them was naturally good, allowing them to secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
As a sect under the Void Land, these seven families were located in the same Great Domain as the Void Land. Logically speaking, when the Void Land encountered a crisis, they should have mobilized their forces to help, but in reality, they had done nothing at the time.
However, this was only human nature. The strongest of the seven forces was only a Third Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator. In that situation, if they wanted to interfere, it would be like trying to smash an egg against a rock. If they were not careful, it would lead to the destruction of their Sect. The Hundred Force Alliance was so powerful, how could they be their opponent?
Yang Kai understood their difficulties, so he naturally wouldn’t bother with them.
However, they were probably afraid that the Void Land would seek revenge later, so after receiving Yang Kai’s orders, they had all moved a large amount of Spiritual Land from their headquarter and were now rapidly expanding the Star City.
Yang Kai looked around, and after a while, the entire Star City had expanded by more than five times! Although it still couldn’t be compared to Thousand Birds Star City, it wasn’t far off. Although it was huge, its population was still quite low, so Star City was now quite empty. However, this wasn’t a big deal. As long as the overall framework of Star City was built, the foundation would be there. As long as the popularity of the city continued to rise, the land of Void Star City would become extremely valuable!
Yang Kai had stayed in Thousand Birds Star City for a while, so he had a deep understanding of this place. In such a large Star City, the rent of a good location was not cheap.
Although Void Star City was now quite empty, every inch of land here would bring a certain amount of benefits to Void Land in the future.
This place would definitely become the gold mine of the Void Land, a money tree that would provide a source of funds for the development of the Void Land.
“Elder Chen!” Yang Kai called out.
Chen Tian Fei immediately stepped forward and respectfully asked, “This subordinate is here, does Sir have any instructions?”
Yang Kai pointed to the front and said, “Take some people to count the number of shopkeepers who are still staying in the Star City. Contact them and tell them that Void Star City wants to unify and rebuild, so all the original buildings must be razed to the ground. However, don’t worry, when we finish rebuilding, Void Land will compensate them with a new shop in their original location, so they won’t suffer any losses.”
“Yes!” Chen Tian Fei quickly replied, ordering some people to follow him and leave. This was not a difficult task. If Void Star City wanted to develop, it would need to be planned out. Even if there was no compensation, no one would dare complain, let alone compensate them with a new shop.
“Yun Xinghua!” Yang Kai called out again.
Yun Xinghua’s chest rose as he took two steps forward and cupped his fists, “This subordinate is here!”
Yang Kai stepped on the ground and said, “We’ll build an auction house here. You’ll be in charge of this matter!” This is the center of the entire Star City, the best location. As a building directly under Void Land, the auction house naturally had to occupy this place.
Yun Xinghua’s eyes lit up as he said firmly, “Sir, please rest assured, this subordinate will handle this matter properly!” Pausing for a moment, he asked, “Sir, what are the requirements for this auction?”
Yang Kai thought about it for a moment before saying, “It must be big enough to accommodate ten thousand people! En, you can go back to the headquarter to find Yue He and ask her for her opinion.”
Yun Xinghua had just broken through to the Fourth Order Open Heaven Stage not long ago, so his strength wasn’t very high and his knowledge couldn’t compare to Yue He’s. If he had Yue He to give him some advice, it should be much better.
Yun Xinghua immediately accepted the order and led a group of her subordinates to retreat, heading straight for the Void Land. Yue He had been forced to play chess by Bi Xi, so now that she couldn’t escape, she should be in need of help.
“Elder Mo!” Yang Kai called out again.
Mo Mei replied, “This subordinate is here.”
Yang Kai turned around and smiled at her, “The blueprint for the Star City will depend on you. Try to plan out the Star City’s buildings in the shortest amount of time possible and then start building.”
Mo Mei smiled, “This is a big project!”
Yang Kai said, “The six hundred thousand disciples of the Void Land are on standby at all times. If you need any personnel, feel free to mobilize them. If you need any supplies, you can discuss it with the Second Manager.”
Mo Mei bowed respectfully, “This subordinate understands and will not disappoint Sect Master!”
After everything was arranged, Yang Kai returned to the Void Land, while the Star City became lively.
The leaders of the seven Lower Sects were leading their respective Sects’ disciples to expand the Star City’s scale, and it wouldn’t be long before it was completed. Chen Tian Fei led a group of people to gather the various shopkeepers who were still in the Star City and explain the Void Land’s decision and plans to them. When the various shopkeepers heard this, they all agreed and none of them refused.
Firstly, the Void Land has great potential, and with Chen Tian Fei’s cultivation of a Fourth Order Open Heaven Stage master, who would dare oppose him? Secondly, this was also a good thing for them, exchanging old for new. They didn’t need to contribute anything, they just needed to sit back and enjoy the fruits of others’ labor. Naturally, there was no need to object, so Chen Tian Fei’s progress was quite smooth.
Yun Xinghua sought out Yue He and together they had set up the Void Auction House in the center of the Star City. Yue He had been to many places over the years, participated in many auctions, and entered many auctions. Now that she wanted to build one for herself, she naturally had to put in a lot of effort.
On Mo Mei’s side, after a discussion with Bian Yuqing, they mobilized thirty thousand disciples from the Void Land to carry out a large scale construction project on Star City.
Rows of neatly arranged houses soon formed, and the spacious streets were large enough to accommodate eight horses walking side by side. After Golden Light Dock and the other Subordinate Sects finished their work, they also took the initiative to help. Although there weren’t many people, it was still a kind gesture…
The entire Star City was bustling with activity.
Shopkeeper Tong and the others had no fixed residence for the past two days, all of their shops had been flattened and there was no place for them to stay. All of the shopkeepers were either gathered in groups of three or five, and when they saw Star City’s tall buildings constantly rising, they couldn’t help feeling excited.
At this moment, how could these shopkeepers not know that they had made the right decision to stay? Originally, they had been forced to remain here because they had no other choice, but they had never expected to benefit from this disaster.
Although Void Star City had yet to become popular, that was only because it had yet to be built and its reputation had yet to spread. When its reputation rose in the future, this place would definitely become extremely prosperous.
