Fengyu calculated many tis but didn’t co to an end, so he stopped and instead started constructing a duck villa for his ducks again, built the sa as the previous one.
After doing so, he instantly used his strands to upgrade up to 40 ducks to Spiritual Ducks.
This instantly boosted his daily eggs to 160 high-quality eggs and 7 normal eggs!
Having done everything ticulously, he was now back in his routine.
Though fortunately, since he didn’t need to cultivate and since most of his spells have achieved satisfactory results, he now still has two hours a day where he can do sothing else.
Today, a week after entering the city, he decided to go out and explore it – or at least visit the other three grand buildings!
"You two, do you want to co with around the city?" Fengyu asked after having called the twins.
"Senior brother, we’re still busy planting, and this isn’t going to be completed until at least a month. Though could you bring us so snacks?" Ling shook her head then asked mischievously.
"Haha, sure, I’ll get you so." Fengyu nodded then went out, Zimu in his hand as always.
"Quack, let’s also get so snacks for the ducks. They look normal and act normal, but they’re actually still a bit confused about having switched their place. It takes so ti for them to get used to it."
"No problem, let’s get a basket of dumplings too." Fengyu thought it was normal for beasts to beco slightly territorial after remaining in a place for long, so changing their place would cause them a slight feeling of unease initially.
Though this was only because his ducks had been stay-at-ho ducks this whole ti.
Walking out of his field, he went down to the road and used his spells to hasten his movent.
In just a bit he arrived at the eastern city gate. Showing his token, he was allowed entry right away.
He skipped over the eastern main street and instead went south through the sideway –
Along the way he saw the courtyards at this level were quite large. Occasionally he could even see a storefront of people selling various things.
So sold small items they crafted, others re-sold rice and other daily products, and a rare few sold items of the five craft creation arts.
The most common item was a talisman, followed by pills then weapons.
Formations and Robes were always a bit elusive.
’I read about it once and it’s said that the art of talismans is the easiest to get into, while the arts of formations and robes are the most difficult.
Because the art of formation requires deep comprehension of heaven and earth, only a select few can do it.
On the other hand, robe making is extrely complex and requires many more steps than weapon making, and each mistake can ruin the material, it’s also extrely tedious... the price to effect ratio is also too high.
Mass-ware with little effect is produced by larger families, sects and workshops, while those of higher grades are too costly for normal people to buy them, forcing them to buy a robe lower than their cultivation.
Most cultivators won’t comnt on your robe since their own is that of a low grade, so in the end this leads to the art of robe making being too expensive.
Of course sewing is more than just robes, but the core has always been robes, so if the core market is difficult to enter, how great is the inco of other markets?’
Fengyu shook his head, fortunate that his own production art didn’t have sothing like a bad market.
There are only bad choices and low skill.
If the market has many pigs, go and raise cows.
If there are too many cows and pigs, raise sheep.
If even then there is too much of them, go with chicken.
And if everyone is raising chicken, go and raise ducks.
The profit margin wasn’t high, but there was never an issue of over-saturation.
After all, the market only had so many spiritual herders of the lower stages.
As for those of the higher stages... they won’t look at the petty gains of mass ware and instead try to raise higher levels of beasts.
Who said cultivators don’t eat?
They only don’t eat if it’s for the sake of eating.
But if the food is spiritual, each bite like a pill, yet it contains no poison whatsoever... who wouldn’t want to eat that? Only poor cultivators would still ’eat cloud sand drink dew’.
Fengyu also saw so pills being sold at so storefronts, which he checked for the sake of Zimu.
He asked Zimu whether he liked any and after hearing none were suitable, he simply left.
’There are pills specifically made for beasts, but I could also try buying raw materials. After all, beasts’ digestive system is much better than that of humans, so eating them raw isn’t bad.’
He continued down the path until he entered the southern main street.
From afar he only saw a larger street, there was no hustle and bustle, so he didn’t even realise it was the main street.
When he entered it proper, he saw that most cultivators on this street were calm and quiet, dressed neatly and behaving like nobles.
Compared to the many cultivators in the eastern street, these ones had spiritual robes and shoes, sotis even fans and umbrellas.
They truly looked ’cultured’, but what Fengyu saw was sothing else – money!
Lots of it!
Every one of them walked with at least 100.000 spirit stones!
And on each of their robes, there was an emblem of a family.
"So this is what it ans when they say the southern gate is the gate leading to the family forces that founded the city –
The true foundation of the city, the place where most of the wealthy people lived probably..."
"Haha, fellow daoist doesn’t have to admire them," just as Fengyu was speaking his thoughts aloud, a man, looking to be in his twenties like him, approached him from afar.
He too wore a spiritual robe and shoes, carrying a fan in one hand and an umbrella in another.
There were even two people behind him, dressed like a servant and bodyguard...
