After the conflict at Langya Sacred Ground, none of the sects visiting the Azurecloud Sect dared to underestimate it anymore.
The Azurecloud Sect dared to stand up to Langya Sacred Ground, and the other sects were far weaker in comparison.
However, beneath the calm surface of Azurecloud Town, the undercurrents were even more turbulent.
"Lingyunzi has reached the Divine Soul Stage?"
The mbers of the Heavenmyst Sect were incredulous. They had been plotting against the Azurecloud Sect, but now that Lingyunzi had reached the Divine Soul Stage, the sect's strength had increased significantly.
"Lingyunzi has been at the Nascent Soul Stage for many years, so reaching the Divine Soul Stage is understandable. But the key issue is the status of the others," Su Mingyang said with a frown. "If the other mbers of the Azurecloud Sect have also reached the Divine Soul Stage..."
To deal with the Azurecloud Sect, they would need to prepare several tis the strength.
After all, Qingyunzi, who had not shown himself, was considered to be at the Dao Integration Stage.
Under such circumstances, dealing with the Azurecloud Sect was not going to be easy.
"I think a different approach might work. Did you see that kid Zhang Yang? Last ti he showed the Restriction-breaking Banner and the Immortal-binding Rope, and now he has the Celestial Net... That's three spirit-grade tools. If we could capture him, wouldn't we be rich?"
"Dealing with Zhang Yang within the Azurecloud Sect might not be feasible!"
Under the watchful eyes of soone at the Dao Integration Stage, getting caught would be courting death.
"Let Zhang Yang participate in this secret realm," Su Mingyang suggested slowly. "Even if he carries spirit-grade tools, if our sects' Golden Core Realm disciples join forces, capturing him shouldn't be a problem. Let's give our disciples so good items and act together to divide the spirit-grade tools!"
"Exactly!" another person exclaid, slapping his thigh. "Dealing with the Azurecloud Sect is difficult, but dealing with Zhang Yang is easy. Let's decide on this, give our disciples the magical treasures, let them refine them, and then deal with Zhang Yang in the secret realm."
"What if Zhang Yang doesn't enter?" soone questioned.
Su Mingyang pondered for a mont and said, "If the Azurecloud Sect doesn't participate in their own secret realm, we can suspect they have other issues. So, they must participate this ti. And the Azurecloud Sect only has Zhang Yang and Situ Mingyue, so they have no choice but to enter."
"Right, we'll force them to agree!"
So sects were secretly plotting.
anwhile, a few Golden Core and Foundation Establishnt disciples from Langya Sacred Ground had been investigating in Azurecloud Town for two days and reported back to Jiang Hegui.
"What's the situation?" Jiang Hegui asked.
"Uncle Master, after our investigation, Azurecloud Town had a battle with the Cloudmount Empire a few months ago, but it ended quickly. We don't know the specifics. According to rumors, the Azurecloud Sect and the Cloudmount Empire have beco close, likely reconciling," a Golden Core disciple replied.
Another Golden Core disciple quickly added, "The changes in Azurecloud Town began about four or five months ago. Many people ca, and the Azurecloud Guesthouse was built... Oh, and we heard that the Azurecloud Sect held a Sect Inauguration Ceremony six months ago and recruited disciples, supposedly taking them all into the sect."
Jiang Hegui frowned. Wasn't the Azurecloud Sect almost closed off before?
Especially after the previous disciples entered Langya Sacred Ground, the Azurecloud Sect seed to have been in decline.
How did it change so drastically?
"What about Zhang Yang?" Jiang Hegui asked.
"No idea!" everyone shook their heads. "We only know that Zhang Yang joined the Azurecloud Sect over ten years ago, frequently visits Azurecloud Town, and nothing unusual has been noticed."
Jiang Hegui sighed, not a single useful piece of information!
How could he have guessed that the changes in the Azurecloud Sect happened in just the past six months?
And all these changes were because soone was cultivating too slowly and wanted to gather resources, starting the Azurecloud reform, leading to the current situation...
"Forget about other information, focus on your cultivation!" Jiang Hegui finally decided. "This ti in the secret realm, make sure to deal with that kid Zhang Yang. Tan Yaoguang, don't you want Situ Mingyue? The secret realm is your best chance. Once you accomplish your task in the secret realm, the Azurecloud Sect will have no choice but to acknowledge it."
"Uncle Master, are we still entering the secret realm?" Tan Yaoguang asked urgently.
Jiang Hegui nodded heavily, "Investigating the Azurecloud secret realm is the most important task, a direct order from the Saint Master. Everything else is secondary, even if it ans giving the Azurecloud Sect so advantage or boosting their reputation. Rember, your only goal is to record all the changes inside the secret realm."
He didn't actually know what was inside the secret realm, but since the Saint Master had instructed, he would follow orders.
While all parties were plotting, the Azurecloud Sect was busy dividing the profits.
"In half a month, the secret realm will open. So, everyone who needs to be here is basically here," Zhang Yang said with a smile. "This ans the money we should have collected is almost in place. No matter how much we squeeze, we can't get much more, so the subsequent activities in Azurecloud Town are not our focus.
Senior Qin will handle the Bluemoon Trading Guild, which is sufficient.
After half a month's operation, the Bluemoon Trading Guild can manage on its own.
The Azurecloud Guesthouse is almost fully occupied, let Chunxiao arrange the remaining tasks, and we should return to the mountain.
In the next half month, we should prepare to enter the secret realm."
Upon hearing Zhang Yang's words, the Seven Sons of Azurecloud felt relieved.
They were just worried that Zhang Yang would focus only on making money and forget about cultivation, wasting the precious Primal Chaos Golden Core.
"How much did we earn?" Baiyunzi asked curiously, looking at Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang glanced at the account books in his hand and revealed a satisfied smile, "Currently, all fifty-five courtyards of the Azurecloud Guesthouse are fully occupied, with a total inco of three million spirit stones. Among this, ordinary rooms contributed five to six hundred thousand spirit stones, with the majority coming from the courtyards.
Of course, the biggest moneymaker is still the Bluemoon Trading Guild.
Aside from the initial three days of huge profits, maintaining a daily inco of four to five hundred thousand spirit stones in the following days is already quite impressive.
In total, we earned twenty-three million in half a month, excluding the eight million from the first day."
The Seven Sons of Azurecloud were dumbfounded. So many spirit stones?
Situ Mingyue murmured, "The annual revenue of the entire Yunteng Trading Union is about the sa..."
Yunteng Trading Union earns a lot, but their costs are much higher.
And the costs for the Azurecloud Sect, which Situ Mingyue knew, were minimal.
For example, those mbership cards had negligible costs!
The money was too easy to earn!
She looked at Zhang Yang as if he were a deity!
Zhang Yang chuckled, "There's more!"
"More?" everyone exclaid.
Zhang Yang nodded, "So many people ca to Azurecloud Town to spend, boosting the overall economy. I had Brother Jiang estimate, and during this period, Azurecloud Town's tax revenue was several million."
Indeed, developing tourism is the best way to boost consumption!
"And don't forget, those entering the secret realm have to pay an entrance fee. With so many people entering the secret realm, that's quite a bit of money," Zhang Yang said, looking at Qingyunzi. "Master, can our secret realm handle it? I estimate there are over a thousand people wanting to enter!"
The information he released was that all forces could participate, so the number far exceeded expectations.
Qingyunzi's eyelid twitched, but he calmly said, "No problem, it can handle it!"
He would expand the "secret realm" later!
He had also enjoyed the trendous benefits of making money and was determined to handle this matter beautifully.
In short, the Azurecloud Sect must seize this opportunity for imnse wealth.
